Kathy-- Thank you for that distilation of bruner's four models. I am
not sure how different three and four are. Unless by "knowledge" one
is referring to "inside the head stuff" in a Cartesian paradigm.

I hated the assignment of writing about culture and intelligence because
the term is so freighted. Robert I consider an outstanding student
of the problem of thinking about intelligence in cross-cultural perspective
and I gratefully yield him the floor (See the summary in *Significance
of Schooling*).
