Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cognitive development in children is a multifaceted process encompassing the maturation of various mental faculties, including perception, memory, language, problem-solving, and reasoning abilities. This intricate progression unfolds across distinct stages, shaped by intrinsic biological factors, environmental influences, type of education, and social interactions. Contemporary research integrates aspects of both, acknowledging the interplay between individual cognitive processes, such as the development of executive functions, and sociocultural influences. Moreover, advancements in the field of neuroscience have elucidated the neural underpinnings of cognitive development, highlighting the dynamic interplay between genetic predispositions and environmental experiences.
Consequently, contributions exploring the neural underpinnings of cognitive milestones across different developmental stages are particularly welcome in this Special Issue. Additionally, research that looks into the role that genetics, brain plasticity, and environmental enrichment play in cognitive development would also help us understand how this process works. Furthermore, research examining the impact of sociocultural factors, familial interactions, and educational interventions on cognitive development contributes to a holistic understanding of this dynamic phenomenon. By exploring the psychophysiological underpinnings of cognitive growth and examining the myriad influences shaping this process, researchers endeavor to shed light on the complexities of childhood cognitive development.
