Three systems act as the steps of processing. As the information is passed onto higher levels, several more sequential steps, many of which are not fully understood, process it. Each of these stages is both highly organized in themselves, and does their own internal processing of the data. They also act as the input for the next step. Hence, information processing in the brain can be considered a cascaded relay system. Where each of these highly organized stations acts as a separately relay that both does its own processing and is the input for the next stage. This theoretical paper is a discussion of a mechanism for cognitive development that has its basis in recent discoveries in neural network designs, which is one of the current models of the brain. It reviews how these advances can be integrated into a holistic theory of mental functioning by adding to them several concepts from Piaget's theory and Maharishi's Levels of the Mind from Vedic Psychology. Such a structure creates a model of development that shows how underlying structures of the mind relate to the sequential developmental stages outlined by developmental theorists. By utilizing attention, neural circuits have the capacity to create a set of stable patterns that connect the higher levels of mental functioning, such as mind, intellect and ego, with the perceptual and motor processes. Such a system closely parallels Piaget's ideas of assimilation and accommodation, and allows a biological understanding of these concepts. Child development in this model would be seen as the successive integration of innate cognitive capabilities into these complex structures. (2)
             All right so that was all bullshit, but it has a purpose. As I read that jargon even when it was impossible for most of you to understand all at once you still listened, in hopes to get the idea and catch a few words familiar to you. This attempt at confusion was to, help you imagine a child, fresh to the worl...
