Hod could cognative development be affected by the development of language?

Answer 1

One can not be expected to cognatiive learn if one can not express what one has learned through cognative, experience and two way communication involving social and survival interaction. That is to day, cognative development and language development go hand-in-hand.

Answer 2

Really, this is a classic question in cognitive development literature. Theorists have suggested that the brain is shaped by language, while others posit that language is merely a product of cognitive development. The example that often is put forward in this debate is the Innuit language have multiple words for different types of snow, which is not found in regions without snow. The idea is, those poeple who have all of these different words for a single construct had a different perception of the world.. they can see and recognize the differences betweent he different types of snow that someone from Africa would not recognize.

Probably the most famous perspective on this was put forward by Lev Vygotsky, who focused on role of language as both a social and cognitive tool. Socially, we use language to communicate with one another, greatly influencing the child's development (i.e., teach them, or provide models of behavior). But Vygotsky also suggested the role language plays in development as a cognitive tool. Thus, originally, the child is supported linguistically by the parent ("can u put the ball in the whole... see the whole.. put it in there... thats good..."). Later the child supports themself linguistically, talking out loud while they work on a difficult task (just watch a child trying to do a jigsaw puzzle). Eventually, the child drops this overt verbal speech and interalizes the speech, which we are all familiar with as the voice in our head as we do things.. a kind of running dialogue of our thoughts.

Answer 3

The answer could be that with the development of language a wider range of communication skills and with that a fuller more comprehensive exchange of ideas resulting in the growth of knowledge giving rise to more cognitive thought processes.A symbiotic relationship is more apropos'.
