Abstract
In "Comments on the Preceding Article" style, two psychologists react to Chris Argyris' "On the Future of Laboratory Education" (JABS, Vol. 3, No. 2, 1967) by distilling and blending the modes of learning elaborated by Bruner (Bruner, Olver, & Greenfield, 1966). They apply Bruner's successive stages of understanding-from the senses, to images, to symbols-to laboratory training and pay homage to the trainer who will respect the complexity of individual growth. There is room for both the enactive and the symbolic in the future of laboratory education, say the authors, as long as the hierarchy is understood and maintained.
