Strong cognitive abilities in children are very helpful for their learning, problem-solving, and facing difficulties as they grow up. Moreover, parents can have a better understanding and learning of scientific methods that can help children improve their cognitive abilities. Now let me tell you what to do if a one year old baby has poor cognitive ability.
What to do if a one week old baby has poor cognitive ability
1. Visual training: Train children to pursue objects, use toy sounds to attract them to turn their heads and look for sound producing toys. Train 2-3 times a day, 3-5 minutes each time, to broaden children's visual breadth; Color perception practice, allowing children to see various colored pictures, toys, and objects, and telling them the names and colors of objects, can greatly advance the development of color cognition in infants.
2. Auditory training: directional auditory practice, attracting children to search for sound sources in different directions and distances, in order to stimulate the development of children's directional perception ability; Distinguishing intonation training, using different tones and expressions according to different situations, so that children can gradually feel the different emotional components in language and gradually improve their ability to distinguish language; 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.
Composition of cognitive abilities
Cognitive ability is the most important psychological condition for people to successfully complete activities. The abilities of perception, memory, attention, thinking, and imagination are all considered cognitive abilities. Cognitive ability is the ability of the human brain to process, store, and extract information, that is, the ability of people to grasp the composition, performance, relationship with other things, development motivation, development direction, and basic laws of things. People's cognitive characteristics have a significant impact on their socio-economic status, and enhancing cognitive abilities has been found to be associated with wealth growth and increased life expectancy.
However, it has always been widely believed that abilities such as mathematics and reading are familial, but the complex systems that affect these trait genes are largely unknown to people.
American psychologists have proposed five cognitive abilities: verbal information (the ability to answer questions about what the world is); Wisdom skills (the ability to answer questions about why and what to do); Cognitive strategies (the ability to consciously regulate and monitor one's cognitive processing); Attitude (emotions and emotional responses that shape learners' attitudes, directing learners to form internal states or tendencies that influence behavioral choices); Motor skills (activities composed of organized and coordinated muscle movements).
Cognitive ability is not simply a synonym for one ability, but a collective term for multiple abilities and even thinking. For parents and children, it is precisely because of the complexity of cognitive abilities that cultivating them can be tedious and difficult. Parents need to provide guidance and assistance in various aspects to achieve better results.
