In this case, the children playing in the water are in a situation where cognitively they are creating pathways in which they can begin to identify objects, ways of exploring, what happens when you touch certain surfaces etc. The children are developing more knowledge of the water, the memory of what it feels like and an imagination on what can be done with it. An important aspect to remember is because the child is developing cognitively this, in turn, impacts other developmental domains as the child's brain is developing a memory for actions, words, and social cues. For example, as children are learning physical movements they are learning emotional attachments to these or they communication it takes to perform these movements.
