Child development: cognitive development and face
processing

What is cognition?
 Cognition = describe all inner processes and products of the mind that
lead to knowing
 Analogous to a computer – the physical brain is the hardware – the
function of the brain is software
Theoretical accounts of cognition
 Piaget’s cognitive development theory:
 Stage 1 – sensorimotor intelligence (0-2)
 Stage 2 – preoperational thought (2-7)
 Stage 3 – concrete operational thought (7-11)
 Stage 4 – formal operational (11+)
 Piaget underestimated the abilities of children
Understanding cognition
 Memory is a critical component of cognitive processes
 To study cognition, we need to understand intelligence
Memory development
 ENCODE, STORE, RETRIEVE
 Declarative and procedural memory
 Declarative memory = involved conscious (explicit) recall – semantic,
episodic – semantic memory stores factual knowledge – episodic
memories are events that we can recall from our lives
 Procedural memory = procedural memory involves unconscious
(implicit) recall – skills and abilities – these memories start with
conscious effort but then become automatic – they are also typically
difficult to describe
