Information Processing Approach01:30

Information Processing Approach

The information-processing theory of cognitive development centers on fundamental mental processes, including attention, memory, and problem-solving skills. Researchers in this field examine how cognitive abilities, such as working memory, evolve and influence children's overall development. Studies indicate that children with stronger working memory tend to excel in reading comprehension, math, and problem-solving compared to peers with less efficient memory skills. Low working memory is also...

Sensorimotor Stage II: Substages 4 to 6

Piaget’s sensorimotor stage describes cognitive development from birth to approximately two years. During this stage, infants progress from reflexive behavior toward intentional action and early symbolic thought. Substages four through six show major advances in problem-solving, experimentation, and mental representation.Substage 4: Coordination of Secondary Circular ReactionsFrom approximately 8 to 12 months, infants begin coordinating previously learned behaviors to achieve specific goals.
Cognitive Neuroscience Approach01:21

Cognitive Neuroscience Approach

The cognitive neuroscience approach to development focuses on how the central nervous system supports emerging cognitive abilities. Neuroimaging and behavioral studies link specific neural systems to memory and cognitive processing in infancy.Distinct Memory Systems in the Developing BrainInfant long-term memory includes two distinct systems: implicit and explicit memory. Implicit, or nondeclarative, memory involves unconscious recall of skills and routines. It develops early and appears in...

Motor Skills Development During Early Childhood

Early childhood is a period of rapid motor development in which children refine gross and fine motor skills. These abilities increase independence and support social interaction, play, and learning.Gross Motor SkillsGross motor skills involve coordinated movements of large muscle groups, including running, jumping, and climbing. By about 2.5 years, most children can jump with both feet. Hopping, which requires greater balance and strength, usually emerges around age 4.Stair climbing also...

Socialization and Self-Regulation During Toddlerhood

Socialization is the developmental process through which children learn the habits, skills, values, and motives needed to function effectively in society. It begins within the family and later expands to peers, schools, and cultural institutions.From Compliance to InternalizationEarly socialization often involves compliance, in which children follow parental expectations to gain approval or rewards and avoid punishment. With development, compliance gradually shifts toward internalization, the...

Piaget's Stage 1 of Cognitive Development

The sensorimotor stage, the initial phase of Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development, spans the first two years of a child's life. During this period, infants actively engage with their surroundings, building cognitive awareness through direct interaction with the world. This interaction is primarily based on sensory perception and motor actions, allowing infants to gradually understand basic physical properties and predict how objects interact within their environment.
