Understanding causality in preschoolers crucial for language development and cognitive growth.
The study looked at how young children understand cause and effect, and how this relates to their language development. They found that 5-6 year olds are better at understanding cause and effect than 3-4 year olds. Young children start by noticing obvious causes, then move on to more hidden causes and general rules. Understanding cause and effect is important for children to use words like "because" and "therefore" correctly. So, learning about cause and effect helps kids develop their language skills.
