Cognition

Cognition is one of the five central domains of the Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework (ELOF). Resources here address the skills children use to understand and organize their world: reasoning, memory, problem-solving, and thinking skills. For preschoolers, cognition expands to include mathematical development and scientific reasoning.

Other ELOF domains include Approaches to Learning; Social and Emotional Development; Language and Literacy; and Perceptual, Motor, and Physical Development.
