biological and brain developments are fundamental

Neurobiological development

What is brain plasticity?

How does cognitive development take place?

Phases for the acquisition of cognitive abilities

are influenced by stimulation received from the environment

They will determine such important aspects as general health and well-being, as well as learning capacity in particular

What is cognitive stimulation in children?

through games

A game is a natural activity, characteristic of childhood, that allows the child to learn and relate to his environment.

a game is a stimulating activity that requires the functionality of different components of child development

Another way to stimulate the brain, and which is more entertaining for children and adolescents, is the use of new technologies, such as the well-known brain training games

The learning that takes place during games is assimilated much more quickly and effectively, activating cognitive capacities that will help us understand the environment

Another type of cognitive stimulation that is emerging right now is based on neurotechnology.

have their neurobiological basis in the brain

In the first years of life, our brain undergoes a maturation process

In the initial stages of development, and in the later stages of aging, it occurs

a series of changes in the organization of the central nervous system (CNS)

continually establishes new neural connections and produces structural growth

How our CNS changes, from the interactions with the environment and in reaction to the observed diversities

It is important to know the characteristics of brain plasticity to understand how cognitive abilities develop and evolve from an early age.

it is the ability of organisms to learn and modulate their responses based on the acquisition and transformation of new information

Cognitive development evolves progressively through different stages until adolescence, where it is consolidated

Sensorimotor period: from 0 to 2 years

Adequate cognitive stimulation adjusted to each of these stages and according to the level of maturity of children is essential for the development of cognitive abilities in early childhood.

Preoperative stage: from 2 to 7 years

Concrete operational stage: from 7 to 11/12 years

Formal operating period: over 11 years:
