Infant Cognition – It is Not What You Think!
In cognitive design we stress understanding how our clients, think, feel, learn, emote, make decisions, perceive the world and conduct other mental business. This is true especially when the client is an infant. I say especially because in no other area has understanding of how the mind works change more radically in recent years than it has with infant cognition. To get a taste of what I mean check out How Babies Think.
“But in the past three decades scientists have discovered that even the youngest children know more than we would ever have thought possible. Moreover, studies suggest that children learn about the world in much the same way that scientists do—by conducting experiments, analyzing statistics, and forming intuitive theories of the physical, biological and psychological realms.”
You need to register and purchase the entire issue but if you are designing anything for infants it is well worth the $5.99.
