Cognitive development in children refers to the growth and refinement of thinking abilities, problem- solving skills, and information processing from infancy through adolescence. It encompasses various milestones such as language acquisition, memory development, attention span improvement, and the ability to reason and understand abstract concepts. Piagets stages of cognitive development—sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational—provide a framework for understanding these changes. Cognitive development is influenced by genetic factors, social interactions, cultural context, and environmental stimuli. Understanding these processes helps educators, caregivers, and psychologists support children in reaching their cognitive potential and
achieving academic success.
