I was with my one-year-old niece the other day. She likes browsing through books, pointing at staff and then look at me, making noises like she is explaining to me something (she can’t talk, yet).
What could she possibly be thinking? Do we have any knowlelge?

Our understanding of how babies think and what they understand is constantly evolving, as researchers continue to study the cognitive development of infants. However, we have gained a significant amount of knowledge in recent years about the way babies think and perceive the world around them. It is now known that even newborn babies have some basic cognitive abilities, such as the ability to recognize faces and voices, and to distinguish between different sounds and textures. As babies grow and develop, their cognitive abilities expand and become more complex, allowing them to understand and interact with their environment in increasingly sophisticated ways. While there is still much that we do not understand about baby cognition, our knowledge in this area has grown significantly in recent years, and it continues to evolve as researchers continue to study this fascinating topic.
