Abstract
- This document, titled "Materiality and Cognitive Development: Contemporary Debates and Empirical Studies in Early Childhood," explores the relationship between materiality and cognitive development in early childhood. It discusses the contributions of figures such as Gesell and Gibson who advocated for non-reductionist and anti-dualistic views of cognitive development. The document also highlights the growing interest in materiality and cognition within psychology and presents five theoretical and empirical contributions that examine how interactions between children, adults, and objects shape cognitive development in early childhood. These contributions provide insights into conceptual thinking, motor and cognitive development, social pretend play, and communication in educational settings. The document emphasizes the importance of material culture in human development and its potential to shape experiences and behaviors. [Extracted from the article]
