		Cognition is a field of thought processes by which an individual processes information through skills of perception, thinking, memory, learning and attention.
		Studies in animals show that zinc deficiency during the time of rapid brain growth, or during the juvenile and adolescent period affects cognitive development by decreasing activity, increasing emotional behavior, impairing memory and the capacity to learn.
		Additional research is required to determine the exact biological mechanisms, the critical periods, the threshold of severity and the long-term effects of zinc deprivation on cognitive development.

	A Science Odyssey: People and Discoveries: Piaget describes stages of cognitive development
		Over the next 60 years, in numerous prestigious academic posts, he continued to talk with children, play with them, ask them questions, and try to understand their thinking.
		Gradually he pieced together a "blueprint" for normal cognitive development in children, and presented findings that were amazing for their simplicity, insight, and endurance to the test of time.
		For example, he found if he showed a baby a toy, but then covered the toy with his hat, the baby would forget about the toy -- if the baby were younger than nine months old.

		Self Realization Publications: Psychotherapy Cognitive Development The aim of this program is to examine Piaget’s theory and to critically evaluate it in light of modern research.
		The study of child development in the 20th century has revolved around Jean Piaget’s theories, and the program clearly describes their central themes, covering the cognitive stages of development from birth to twelve years old, giving illustrations of children’s behavior at each level.
		The program concludes that children are more cognitively capable at an earlier age than Piaget suggested, but it is the ages rather than the stages that are disputed.

	Cognitive Development - dKosopedia
		The concept of cognitive development, involving qualitiative changes in cognition from one stage--such as childhood--into another--such as adolesence--has been present in culture around the world throughout history.
		His work was extended into the realm of moral reasoning by Lawrence Kohlberg, and Robert Kegan applied it to therapy and adult development, while also developing a broad framework to integrate the work of diverse developmental approaches, including those of Erick Erikson, Abraham Maslow and others.
		Kegan developed a simple explanation for the underlying mechanism of developmental stages: what is subject at one stage (the unconscious elements of cognition that structure our awareness) become object (the conscious elements of cognition acted on by our awareness) at the next.

	Assignment on Cognitive development.
		Some psychologists suggest that cognitive development is not in a stage-like manner.
		From the information-processing approach, if we view cognitive development as the acquisition of several separate information processing skills, we would notice that a child may need several cognitive skills like attention and memory, apart from the critical skills which symbolyses the stages, to successfully do the tasks designed to test the critical skills.
		This shows that the domain-specific knowledge is the main difference between the two groups which affect their cognitive abilities, but not the stages of cognitive development.
