- Abstract
Mediated learning theory was operationalized through the 14 instruments of Feuerstein's methodwhich in their turn were articulated in a so-called "instrumental enrichment program" (Instrumental Enrichment, or IE). The program aims directly at some cognitive functions, often short in people with learning difficulties: the ability to compare structures, to findanalogies and differences, the ability to model and materialize, to generalize, to plan, to abstract, to orient in space and time, the capacity to establish analogic, serial numeric relationships, etc., visual and numeric memory, graphical representation capacity. By the attractive, unconventional presentation method, theinstruments motivate both children and adults to perform exercises and overcome thinking difficulties. Theinstrumentation of child's thinking with elements helping to mobilize and adjust its own thinking will aim to create its intrinsic need to use higher intellectual ways in solving its school and social problems. Child's strive to make autonomous intellectual activity will increase its degree of independence and will change its own perception of itself as autonomous cognitive personality.
