Answer preview
Just as in the physical dimension, the cognitive development of preschoolers is equally impressive. Cognitive development refers to thinking, processing information, and making decisions (Sravanti, 2019). Preschoolers have a strong desire to assert their independence and fight for room to make their decisions. They also try to understand their world, leading to inquisitiveness. In addition to asking many questions, they begin to problem solve without needing adult intervention. Imitating grown-ups is common as their memory becomes better, allowing them to remember how things are done or said. They also get a number sense and understand the sequences in numbering.
