Summary:(2002, p 89) As so often happens with the social sciences, the pendulum swings and instead of focusing on culture as a determinant of learning, neuroscientists are increasingly looking inside the living brain itself, using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) which indicates the flow of blood, which in turn is linked to neuronal activity as the patient carries out mental tasks. After ten years in Oxford he returned to the United States and in 1991 joined the law faculty of New York University where he continues to explore how psychology affects legal practice, at the age of 98.1 met him in New York some years ago and took the opportunity to thank him for helping to make my lifetime's experience in education - to use another memorable Bruner statement - a somewhat dangerous pursuit rather than a drearily routine one.
