According to Bruner, the relation between concept formation and concept attainment is like ............. .

  • A.Concept formation and concept attainment are different terms
  • B.Concept formation and concept attainment are not different terms
  • C.Concept formation and concept attainment are dependent terms
  • D.Concept formation and concept attainment are independent terms

Answer: A

For Bruner, concept formation and concept attainment are different terms.

In A Study of Thinking (Bruner, Goodnow and Austin), concept formation is the first step, in which a learner discovers that certain objects belong together and forms a new category. Concept attainment is the search for the attributes that distinguish members of an already existing category from non-members. Joyce and Weil's concept attainment model of teaching is built on this distinction.

So saying they are not different is wrong. 'Dependent' and 'independent' describe a relationship between the two processes rather than Bruner's point, which was that they are distinct.
