"The field of study which focuses on the development of a child with respect to language learning, conceptual resources, information processing and perpetual skills is known as cognitive development. It observes the qualitative differences between a child and an adult. Cognitive development deals with the understanding of logical relations and cause-effect reasoning in school age children. It is concerned with the intellectual development of children and the emergence of the ability to consciously understand, cognize and articulate their understanding. The topics covered in this extensive book deal with the core aspects of cognitive development and learning. Different approaches, evaluations and methodologies and studies on cognitive development have been included in this book. This book will prove to be immensely beneficial to students and researchers in this field." -- Provided by publisher
