Bruner argues that the cognitive revolution, with its fixation on a computational model of mind, has led psychology away from the deeper objective of understanding mind as a creator of meanings. Only by breaking out of the limitations of this model can we grasp the interaction through which mind both constitutes and is constituted by culture.
