At the beginning of birth, babies will gradually perceive and understand the world, and adapt to it with their own understanding. Their understanding of the world changes with age. After the baby reaches one year old, they are already quite old and have adapted to the world. So, what is the baby's cognition after one year old?
What is the cognition of infants and young children after one year old
Newborns can change their reactive behavior through external stimuli and toy stimuli, and the formation of conditioned reflexes is the beginning of learning, which is the first stage.
In the second stage (1-4 months), primary cyclic reactions occur. Infants and young children like to repeat actions that happen by chance. For example, sucking on other things.
The third stage (4-8 months) expands the cyclic response from oneself to things outside the body. Kick a toy that has already been pinched with your feet instead of kicking a new toy that you haven't seen before.
The fourth stage (8-12 months) of action is purposeful. If you want to play with a furry puppy, know to move the obstacle away first.
In the fifth stage (12-18 months), infants and young children are not satisfied with one action, but rather change their actions and explore the consequences of the change.
The sixth stage (1.5-2 years old) marks the transition from sensory motor behavior to intelligence, where one begins to apply textual signals, master language, and effectively utilize memory storage. Has certain thinking characteristics, such as strong specificity in doing things; Self-centered; In a nutshell, he can pour one of the two cups of water into a small diameter cylinder, believing that there is more water in the cylinder than in the cup; Pay attention to the condition of things.
Cognitive training for infants and young children
1. Visual training
(1) Train children to pursue objects. Use toy sounds to attract children to turn their heads and search for sound producing toys. Train 2-3 times a day for 3-5 minutes each time to broaden children's visual range.
(2) Color perception practice. Encouraging children to look at various colored pictures, toys, and objects, and telling them the names and colors of the objects, can greatly advance the development of color cognition in infants.
(3) The period of rapid development of infant vision mainly occurs before the age of half a year. You can choose some toys or objects of different sizes, from big to small, for children to grasp and gaze at with their hands, and then place them on the table to attract children's attention. Children can also be trained to focus on objects of varying distances to promote visual development.
2. Auditory training
(1) Directional auditory practice: Attract children to search for different directions and distances of sound sources to stimulate the development of their directional perception ability.
(2) Distinguishing intonation training: Based on different situations, use different tones and expressions to gradually enable children to feel different emotional components in language and improve their ability to distinguish language.
(3) Allowing children to directly interact with various sounds from their surrounding environment can improve their ability to recognize sounds of different frequencies, intensities, and timbres.
As infants and young children grow older, they will gradually imitate the language and thinking of young mothers. Young mothers can do some things to train their babies' cognition in various aspects, which can promote the development of their organs, improve their discernment ability, and strengthen the relationship between young mothers and babies.
