Abstract

Human development goes on continuously, throughout life, and each proceeds in its own way. Preschool childhood is one of the most important stages in a child's life. Every child is unique and inimitable. The process of its development is also individual and unique. Some children grow faster and are ahead of their peers, while others lag behind in development. In developmental psychology, the concept of the norm is more of a statistical nature, that is, such a pace and direction of development of children that are observed in most of them at a certain stage of development are recognized as normal.Preschool children actively learn about the world around them. This knowledge is possible due to their mental cognitive abilities.In our article, we want to dwell on some of the most typical features of the development of mental cognitive processes in preschool children.
