01:21The Nativist Approach
The nativist approach to infant cognitive development proposes that infants are born with inherent knowledge structures that allow them to interpret the world almost immediately. This perspective contrasts with earlier developmental theories, such as those proposed by Jean Piaget, which emphasized a more gradual acquisition of cognitive abilities through interaction with the environment. One key concept in this approach is object permanence — the understanding that objects continue to exist...

Other adult family members and siblings play a crucial role in shaping children’s social and emotional development.

These influences depend on each adult’s personality and may help compensate when a primary caregiver is emotionally distant or inconsistent. For...
