Humans, like other mammals, are helpless at birth. The newborn infant is highly dependent upon others for mere physical survival.

To put it simply, the human infant lacks those instincts, or unlearned forms of behavior, that in other species serve to exist. Unlike newly hatched fish or ducks, which are capable of providing for their own needs in their new environments, the human infant is highly dependent upon others for

The two most influential and important theorists when examining and studying cognitive development would most certainly be Jean Piaget and Lev Vygotsky. The definition of cognitive development can be explained as the ability to think, reason and remember; it is a vital part and plays an important role in the development of children into adults.
