Answer:

C. Advance organizer model

Read Explanation:

Jerome Bruner's contributions to psychology include: 

  • Cognitive development

    Bruner's theory of cognitive development was different from other stage-based theories because it suggested that children could learn difficult concepts with the right support. He also believed that intellectual ability develops in stages through changes in how the mind is used. 

  • Discovery learning

    Bruner developed the concept of discovery learning, which emphasizes the active role of the student in the learning process. 

  • Scaffolding

    Bruner established the term "scaffolding" to describe how the social components of the teacher-student environment can facilitate learning. 

  • Spiral curriculum

    Bruner championed the spiral curriculum, which teaches subjects at increasing levels of complexity over time. 

  • Cultural psychology

    Bruner argued for the development of cultural psychology, which he believed should consider the social and political context of learning. 

  • Cognitive psychology

    Bruner's experiments on perception and internal interpretation of stimuli led to the formal study of cognitive psychology. He published A Study of Thinking in 1956 to initiate this study. 

  • Cross-disciplinary research

    Bruner supported cross-disciplinary research, which helped the work of his colleagues and students. 

Bruner was a pioneering education psychologist and is listed as one of the 100 most eminent psychologists of the 20th century by the American Psychological Association.
