Abstract
As children acquire knowledge about how they and others think, feel, and act, they begin to understand themselves and others which helps to guide them in their responses to others. This knowledge or social cognition is the foundation for understanding self and others, learning appropriate ways to respond, and achieving social understanding. In this chapter, primary and secondary intersubjectivity as well as self-regulation and attention facilitate social understanding development which includes the development of visual and auditory attention, social cognitive (theory of mind development), memory, metamemory, representational memory (play development), and executive function. Cultural differences in social cognitive and cognitive development are discussed.
