cognitive development

In psychology, the term cognitive development refers to the development of our minds, especially to the complexity of our thoughts. In psychology, there are many schools and theories that focus on cognitive development and they all agree that as we grow older, our cognitive abilities increase until certain point around mid-age and then start to decrease. They also agree on the fact that small children have a less developed train of thought.

In this example, prior to age 9, children's dreams seem more like a slide show and less like an active story. This can be associated with the fact that by this age, cognitive development of children is still not as logic and rational as an adult's one. Therefore, this best illustrates that the content of dreams reflects cognitive development.
