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