Kompresja wiekowa zachowań w rozwoju dzieci – ujęcie poznawcze i kulturowo-społeczne
Age compression of behaviours in the development of children. A cognitive and socio-cultural view

Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on a a social phenomenon known as the age compression of behaviours, described as the dysregulation of boundaries between childhood and adulthood in the area of consumer, social and product usage behaviours. The age compression of behaviours was defined as reducing the time from the birth of the child to the moment of undertaking behaviours, which in previous decades were common for adolescents and adults. This phenomenon is discussed from a cognitive perspective, as an effect of acceleration related to certain areas of both children’s cognitive development, as and socio-cultural changes which influence changes in the way children are treated. It was assumed that we simultaneously observe behaviours which, on the one hand, are based on a dysregulation of cognitive processes – accelleration and cognitive asynchrony, and, on the other hand, result from the adaptation to the changing conditions of how children function.
