A child’s learning process that begins with direct interaction with parents, teachers, and peers, even before any formal or academic learning begins. Through this interaction, children learn critical skills such as attentive observation, effective imitation, and responding to social feedback. These skills form the basis for the development of higher psychological functions, such as reasoning, attention, emotional regulation, and problem-solving. This concept emphasizes that a child’s early social environment plays a key role in promoting their cognitive and emotional development by providing ongoing opportunities to interact, learn through observation, and learn a variety of behavioral strategies that allow them to adapt to different social and cognitive demands. It also emphasizes the role of positive and supportive relationships with adults and peers in promoting early social learning by fostering cooperative skills, communication, and understanding of the feelings and intentions of others. In terms of therapeutic and educational intervention, this concept allows for the development of educational and therapeutic interventions aimed at developing social interaction and observation, as well as the gradual and targeted development of communication and emotional adaptation skills. Thus, early social learning becomes a crucial tool to support the comprehensive development of the child, linking cognitive psychological functions with emotional and behavioral functions, contributing to the development of a balanced personality capable of effectively and sustainably facing environmental challenges.
