Let Mn(R) be the algebra of all n× n matrices over a unital commutative ring R with 6 invertible. We say that A∈ Mn(R) is a Jordan product determined point if for every R-module X and every symmetric R-bilinear map \⋅, ⋅\ : Mn(R)× Mn(R)→ X the following two conditions are equivalent: (i) there exists a fixed element w∈ X such that \x,y\=w whenever x∘ y=A, x,y∈ Mn(R); (ii) there exists an R-linear map T:Mn(R)2→ X such that \x,y\=T(x∘ y) for all x,y∈ Mn(R). In this paper, we mainly prove that all the matrix units are the Jordan product determined points in Mn(R) when n≥ 3. In addition, we get some corollaries by applying the main results.
