Constructivism claims that the learner creates a reality in his mind, or at least interpretes the reality based on his apperception.

How one constructs knowledge is a function of the prior experiences, mental structures, and beliefs that one uses to interpret objects and events.” That does not means that constructivism preclude an external reality; “it merely claims that each of us constructs our own reality through interpreting perceptual experiences of the external world. (Jonassen, D.H. 1991 p. 10)

Learning content will be memorized and called differently by different learners even if they used the same learning material or visited the same lecture.
