Infant cognition is a research area that focuses on understanding the cognitive development of infants, typically from birth to around age two. This field examines how infants perceive and interact with their environment, how they learn and acquire knowledge, and how their cognitive abilities such as memory, attention, language, and problem-solving skills develop over time. Researchers use a variety of methods, including behavioral observations, eye-tracking studies, and neuroimaging techniques, to study infant cognition and gain insights into the early stages of cognitive development. Understanding infant cognition has important implications for education, parenting, and early intervention programs.
