and this is a quote from
page 49 of the Heineman CYPW handbook:
Cognitive development
This are of development is also known as intellectual development. It is a huge area, as it encompasses the way in which the brain processes information. Being able to remember someone's name or being able to distinguish between two different colours are examples of cognitive skill. Imagination is also a cognitive skill. Cognitive language is strongly linked to communication and language development.
Pages 50+ go on to explain development stages
0-3 weeks: babies who recognise the smell and sound of their mother's voice
1 month: babies stop crying because they hear a familiar face
3 months: babies start to notice mobiles and other objects around them
6 months: toys and objects being explored in the mouth as well as with fingers
9 months: exploring objects using hands and mouth
12 months: recognising the routines of the day eg. becoming excited when they hear the bath water or have a bib put on them.
18 months: enjoyment of pop-up and posting toys
2 years: playing with building bricks and doing simple puzzles
2 1/2 years: pretend play with plastic animals, teddies or in the home corner
3 years: interest in mark-making, painting and books
4 years: concentration when an activity has caught their attention
5-6 years: ability to count and do simple calculations
7-9 years: reading books silently
If you use the amazon preview of the book search inside for 'children at 1 month' then you'll be able to read the information
another supportive book is
Child Development 0-19 which goes into greater detail about children's cognitive development. Quote p. 194:
cognitive (intellectual) related to the ideas and thinking of the child. Cognition emphasises that children are aware, active learners, and that understanding is an important part of intellectual life.
