- The 10 Most Important Cognitive Milestones for Babies Aged 7-9 Months
👶 Welcome to Daily Dose of Parenting! In this video, we explore the ten most important cognitive milestones for babies aged 7-9 months. From developing object permanence to engaging in joint attention, these milestones are crucial for your baby's cognitive and social development.
1. 🧠 Object Permanence
Understanding that objects exist even when out of sight. Example: Playing peekaboo or hiding a toy under a blanket (Piaget, 1954).
2. 👋 Imitation of Actions
Babies imitate actions, crucial for learning. Example: Clapping hands when a parent claps (Meltzoff & Moore, 1977).
3. 🧸 Improved Memory
Memory expands significantly. Example: Recognizing a favorite toy or familiar face (Rovee-Collier, 1999).
4. 🔍 Exploratory Play
Using hands and mouths to investigate objects. Example: Banging a toy to hear the sound it makes (Hutt, 1979).
5. ⚙️ Cause and Effect Understanding
Grasping that actions cause reactions. Example: Pressing a button on a toy to make it light up (Gopnik et al., 1999).
6. 📚 Increased Attention Span
Longer focus on activities. Example: Playing with a musical toy for several minutes (Ruff & Rothbart, 1996).
7. 👀 Joint Attention
Shared focus on an object, crucial for social and language development. Example: Looking at a toy that a caregiver is holding. Develops around 9 months (Mundy & Newell, 2007).
8. 🗣️ Understanding Simple Commands
Comprehending commands and gestures. Example: Responding to "no" by pausing their action (Kuhl, 2004).
9. 😃 Social Referencing
Looking to caregivers for cues in unfamiliar situations. Example: Seeking reassurance when meeting a new person (Feinman, 1992).
10. 🔊 Babbling and Sound Experimentation
Experimenting with sounds, a precursor to words. Example: Making sounds like "ba-ba" or "da-da" (Oller, 2000).
