Reuven Feuerstein (1921-2014) was an Israeli psychologist renowned for his theory of Structural Cognitive Modifiability (SCM) and the concept of Mediated Learning Experience (MLE). Born in Romania, Feuerstein's work was significantly influenced by his experiences during World War II, assisting child survivors of the Holocaust. His main belief was that intelligence is not a static trait but can be modified under the right educational interventions.
