Abstract
The instrumental enrichment (IE) program is strongly related, both historically and conceptually, to the learning potential assessment device, which provides the framework and set of guidelines for constructing IE intervention techniques. Even though the LPAD is not a prerequisite for the adoption of the IE program, it is of great benefit to have the teacher who is charged with the application of the instrumental enrichment program be exposed to the LPAD. Indeed, the use of the LPAD provides a “minicourse” in mediating learning experience, allowing the IE teacher to experience in vitro, either through observing or administering the LPAD, the kinds of changes that can be produced in the cognitive structures of an individual. From its overall vantage point, the LPAD offers the IE teacher a broad-based view of what the interventional program should be and the results that can be expected if the program is applied in an appropriate way.
