Abstract

This article shows, from a review of the cognitive development programs proposed by authors such as Nickerson, Perkins and Smith, on the one hand, and Carlos Yuste, on the other, getting to know the work of R. Feuerstein and his theory on Structural Cognitive Modifiability. With a different assessment model -DALP or Dynamic Assessment of Learning Potential-, Feuerstein gets to know the learning potential and the level of cognitive functioning, in order to improve them in culturally deprived people with low school performance through the IEP - Instrumental Enrichment Program-. The Theory of Structural Modifiability considers the organism as a system open to change and modification and introduces the figure of the Mediator.
