Abstract
Abstract Cognitive development theory addresses the manner of growth and change in the intellectual processing functions of children, such as individual growth in perception, thought, and understanding of the environment, as they mentally develop, including information processing, intelligence, reasoning, language development, motor development, social behavior, and memory. Piaget's (1952) seminal work centered on children progressing through four non‐age‐related, culture transcending stages: sensorimotor stage, pre‐operational stage, concrete operational stage, and formal operational stage. Vygotsky's (1986) influential work included addressing the social, historical, and environmental context in which children develop. Later perspectives on cognitive development posit that infants begin the process of development and knowledge acquisition with core principles that guide their future cognitive development. Research shows an influence of the family on various aspects of cognitive development.
