The core knowledge approach to infant cognitive development is based on the idea that

that humans are born with innate cognitive systems

Explanation:

Core knowledge approach is a psychological theory that explains that humans are born with a domain-specific system. It states that human child as soon as he attained the age of 3 to 4 months starts to show signs of core knowledge system which includes object permanence, language, space, etc. Therefore it critique Piaget's theory that underestimated the potential of the infant's cognitive capabilities. Psychologist Elizabeth Spelke thus concluded that infants born with some core knowledge system that helps to make understanding of this world.
