Innsbruck University Press, Innsbruck: 455–474.</ref>{{blockquote|"In very general terms, constructivist approaches can be said to support the idea that mental structures such as cognition and perception are actively built by one's mind rather than passively acquired. They emphasize the primacy of the cognitive system and its organizational closure. In the understanding of constructivism, cognition is not about creating representations of a mind-independent reality but constructing reality."<ref name=":0" />}}
