This document discusses infant cognitive development from birth to age 12 based on Piaget's theory of cognitive development. It covers the major stages of development including the sensorimotor stage from birth to age 2 where infants learn through senses and motor skills, the preoperational stage from ages 2 to 7 where symbolic thought and language develop, and the concrete operational stage from ages 7 to 12 where logical and systematic problem-solving emerges. The document also outlines important milestones and encourages in each stage of cognitive, language, and communication development.
