Cognitive development is a branch of psychology that focuses on how individuals acquire, organize, and use knowledge and information. This field explores how people develop thinking, problem-solving, memory, attention, and language skills from infancy through adulthood. Researchers in cognitive development study various aspects of cognitive processes, including perception, memory, reasoning, decision-making, and problem-solving. They often use a combination of experimental methods, behavioral observations, and neuroimaging techniques to understand how these cognitive abilities develop over time and are influenced by factors such as genetics, environment, culture, and social interactions. Cognitive development is important for understanding how individuals learn, adapt to their surroundings, and interact with others in their daily lives.
