Cognitive development is age related changes such as how children think and behave differently as they get older.
This is built on processes or schemas.
Whereas some are present from birth (eg- sucking) others are not. They follow a pattern of assimilation and accommodation, which is learning new information and fitting it in with what is already known.
Schemas or though processes are what every child uses as they interact with the world around them. All ideas, memories and information about a particular object/situation etc that a child comes into contact with are sorted into patterns. These are like mental blueprints which link things and behaviours.
