👉 Infants' computing refers to the early stages of cognitive and computational processes that begin even before birth and continue to develop rapidly in the first few years of life. From birth, infants are equipped with innate computational abilities, such as pattern recognition, statistical learning, and predictive processing, which allow them to make sense of their environment. These abilities manifest in behaviors like tracking moving objects, recognizing faces, and anticipating events based on past experiences. As infants grow, these computational skills become more sophisticated, enabling them to learn from interactions, form mental representations of the world, and develop foundational skills for later cognitive development, such as language acquisition and problem-solving. This early computational foundation is crucial for the emergence of higher-order cognitive functions throughout childhood and beyond.
