This program traces the sensory and perceptive abilities used in early learning. See how these senses and motor activities are involved in the spiraling of infant cognition. We see the child explore people and objects in their world, therefore revealing their expanding thinking abilities. The adult facilitates learning through ongoing interactions and responses to the child. Also, we view the stages of language development from the first communication to the first word. We emphasized the role the adult holds in the growing understanding and use of language and communication.
