Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Jerome Bruner proposed three modes of cognitive representation:
Enactive stage (action-based) ≈ Piaget's Sensory-motor stage.

Iconic stage (image-based/visual memory) ≈ Piaget's Pre-operational stage (where children think conceptually but rely on perceptual visual schemas).

Symbolic stage (language/abstract symbols based) ≈ Piaget's Concrete & Formal operational stages.
