Abstract
"Unlock the secrets of infant cognitive development and discover how social interactions shape their future. This research project explores the impact of family environment and social class on the socio-cognitive development of newborns, challenging Piaget's theory of egocentric thought. Learn how early social interactions influence memory structures, mental health, and later flourishing, and gain insights into the innate abilities of infants, including altruism and cooperation. Dive into the findings of this groundbreaking study, which used the Denver Developmental Screening Test to assess the cognitive functioning of infants from diverse backgrounds."

The data, following the experiments, are reported in a table consisting of five divisions: how the child feels at the time of the test, their behavior with the tester, their verbal behavior, their self-confidence and finally their level of attention. The data, noted throughout the experimental phase, are then quoted and analyzed using an evaluation grid adapted to the DENVER test. [...]
