1. Capacity: Cognitive capacity has been internalized and is independent of other learning and abilities, and can be applied fluidly and automatically
2. Recognition: the child does not have cognitive capacity
2.1. Development: A skill is acquired through learning and experience, and is developed and consolidated through practice
3. formal operating period: adolescence and adulthood, ability to perform mental tasks
4. concrete operational stage: 7 to 12 years, the child is able to make classifications and relationships using the principles of conservation, serialization, symmetry and reciprocity
5. Neurobiological development during childhood
6. school the place where they will acquire most of their knowledge and develop their cognitive abilities
7. Plastic mechanisms are associated with age, with decreasing trends in the magnitude of these processes as the individual grows, producing an inherent cognitive decline
8. Brain plasticity or neuroplasticity is the ability of organisms to learn and modulate their responses based on the acquisition and transformation of new information
9. In the first years of life, our brain undergoes a maturation process, which continually establishes new neural connections and produces structural growth
10. Cognitive abilities have their neurobiological basis in the brain and, therefore, the proper development of the brain
