Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Cognitive development refers to the development in the thought process, decision making, remembering, and problem-solving ability since childhood. The stage of language development in the child is very important for the cognitive development of the child. With the development of language, the child starts thinking according to words.

Piaget believed that children form schemes, as they experience new events and situations. He proposed four distinct stages of cognitive development that occur from infancy to adulthood: the sensorimotor stage, preoperational stage, concrete operations, and formal operations.
