Reuven Feuerstein

Reuven Feuerstein was a cognitive psychologist who developed the theory of mediated learning and the Feuerstein Instrumental Enrichment (FIE) program. His work focuses on how the brain can change and improve its thinking skills through guided learning and intentional mental activities. Feuerstein believed that intelligence is not fixed but adaptable, emphasizing the importance of teaching individuals how to learn more effectively, especially those with learning difficulties. His approach helps people develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and self-regulation skills by modifying their thought processes, promoting ongoing cognitive growth and functional independence.
