This document discusses the cognitive development of preschoolers. It covers several topics, including symbolic and intuitive thinking in preschoolers, brain development and the role of environment, language development involving phonology, semantics, syntax and pragmatics. It also discusses Vygotsky's zone of proximal development, information processing theory, theory of mind development, and higher order mental abilities like attention, memory, reasoning, planning and creativity in preschoolers. The document provides standards and examples of cognitive skills at different ages from 3-5 years old. It concludes with practices to develop cognitive skills in 3, 4 and 5 year old preschoolers.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Cognitive Development of
Preschoolers
2. Preschoolers Symbolic and Intuitive Thinking
Symbolic sub stage – preschool children show progress
in their cognitive abilities by being able to draw objects
that are not present, by their dramatic increase in their
language and make-believe play.
Intuitive sub stage – preschool children begin to
use primitive reasoning and ask a litany of
questions.

3. Brain Connections in the Preschool Years
Brain research has also pointed out the crucial role
of the environment. Experts have shown specific
areas of brain activity that respond to environmental
stimulation.

Children language development
becomes increasingly complex in the
four main areas;
1) Phonology
2) Semantics
3) Syntax
4) Pragmatics
Fast mapping-a process by which
children absorb the new meaning of
the word after hearing it once or
twice in conversation.
5. Language and Social Interaction
Vygotsky believed that young children use language both to
communicate socially and to plan, guide, and monitor their
behavior in a self regulatory fashion- inner speech or private
speech.
Vygotsky introduced the term of Zone of Proximal
Development – refer to a tasks too difficult for a child to
master alone but can be mastered with the guidance of adults
or more skilled children.
ZPD captures the preschooler children’s cognitive skills that
are in the process of maturing.

6. Information Processing Theory-
Attention and Memory
Information processing model- is another way
of examining and understanding how children
develop cognitively. It conceptualizes
children’s mental process through the
metaphor of a computer processing, encoding,
storing, and decoding data.

thoughts how about mental processes work.
- It includes awareness of one’s own thought
