What we know changes what we see.\u2019 This process of constant change comes from education and cognitive development. Piaget believed that children\u2019s ability to understand objects\u2014such as learning that a rattle makes a noise\u2014 was a cognitive skill that develops as a child grows and interacts with the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The term \u2018cognition\u2019 originates from the Latin word <em>cognitivus<\/em>, where <em>cognit<\/em> means \u2018known\u2019. Dictionaries define \u2018cognition\u2019 as the mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience and senses. Cognitive development in the youngest children \u2013 infants and toddlers \u2013 is like a learning sponge \u2013 it keeps swelling as the children grow mentally and continue to advance their skills in observing and interacting with the world around them. They also make tremendous leaps in how they process, store and use information. Some amazing brain development happens during the preschool years when the developing brain is supported with concepts and understanding to build a strong foundation for school. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Major_aspects_of_cognitive_development_in_early_childhood\"><\/span>Major aspects of cognitive development in early childhood <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Attention\"><\/span>Attention <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Attention is one of the major aspects of cognitive development. In the early stages of cognitive development, infants have a tendency toward novelty (paying attention to new things), which augments their learning skills. Attention continues to develop throughout early childhood. Psychology says that the normal attention span of a child is 3 to 5 times their age. Therefore, a 2-year-old would be able to concentrate on a particular task for about 6 minutes. A child entering school would be able to concentrate for about 15 minutes. Hence, children must be engaged in activities to increase their attention span, which will help them to perform well in classroom settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Memory\"><\/span>Memory <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Children tend to memorise and imitate the ways in which parents and teachers interact with them. The capacity to remember increases throughout early childhood. To build a sharp memory and enable faster recognition, it is important to repeat information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the activities that should be done on a daily basis to foster cognitive development in children are sing-along (help memory and word identification); auditory discriminations\/voice identification (promote listening skills); literacy, numeracy, colours, shapes, world awareness through activities and games (stimulate perception and readiness); offer choices while performing activities (promote self-efficacy and confidence); environment exploration (provide experiences and enable problem-solving); initiating play (promotes selfesteem and communication skills); role play (teaches empathy and observational skills), etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Encouraging_cognitive_development_in_toddlers_and_preschoolers\"><\/span>Encouraging cognitive development in toddlers and preschoolers <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Learning by doing is best at this age. Children learn faster through play and tend to retain that information for life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some play ideas to support a child\u2019s cognitive development: <br> \u2981    Play simple board games like snakes and ladders to teach numerals and counting<br> \u2981    Read books and narrate stories<br> \u2981    Introduce block games and constructive playthings<br> \u2981    Do simple jigsaw puzzles<br> \u2981    Play games that combine moving and singing to teach basic hand and leg movements<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Enhancing_cognition_at_every_stage_of_childhood\"><\/span>Enhancing cognition at every stage of childhood <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As children mature, they develop the ability to think on higher levels. They can process information more skillfully and make connections with real life. In other words, their thinking skills get progressively better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cognitive skill development can not only benefit the child in the classroom but outside of class as well. It helps them improve their ability to focus, memorise and process information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding the relationship between cause and effect can help in developing analytical skills and decision-making ability. It can also help them realise that if they play video games instead of doing their homework, they will likely get poor grades in the class test the next day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Piaget believed that development occurs through a continuous drive to expand one\u2019s understanding of the world. As a child grows, they demonstrate a more sophisticated understanding of the world. Hence, early childhood development plays an important role in building a child\u2019s future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to Jean Piaget, \u2018What we see changes what we know.
