Hi a very warm welcome to silkysteps xx
What you're looking for as you research/researched children's expected stages of age related cognitive development,
their language acquisition including the implications that a delay in learning language has
not being able to process information in expected ways through the senses
is to see and understand how they are all connected - synonyms for
inter action
What information did you use to respond to the 1.1 and 1.2 criteria?

This QUOTE from
page 349 of the Early Years Educator level 3 handbook helps to explain one aspect of this, link is to amazon.co.uk
How cognitive development contributes to holistic learning and development
Cognitive development contributes to the child's overall learning as it enables them to relate their knowledge to different situations. As they will also be developing skills in other areas such as communication and language, they will be able to speak to others about what they are doing and discuss and develop their ideas. This is why it is also important for adults to constantly be talking to young children and enabling them to talk through their understanding.
From this you can see how delayed language impacts/interacts with cognitive development by not enabling children to percieve or produce the speech and communication skills a child needs to progress further. The role that sensory deficit plays in this interaction is the potential for them to acquire a reduced or altered understanding of what happens when they touch, see/sight, hear/sound, taste and smell.
