Description
Cognitive Development in Infancy and Childhood by Mary Gauvain explores the main theories guiding contemporary research into cognitive development. This Element delves into key areas such as attention, language, social cognition, memory, metacognition, executive function, problem solving, and reasoning. The interplay between biological and social factors is examined alongside cultural influences, highlighting how children's interactions with their environment shape their thinking and actions. The role of culture in supporting cognitive development is also considered, demonstrating its significance in shaping human cognition. By understanding the complex interplay between these factors, readers can gain insight into the processes that underpin cognitive development in infancy and childhood.
