Results indicated that in the past 30 years, child development has always focused on children’s social emotional development, and has continued to strengthen the depth and expand the breadth of research through longitudinal research designs. The evolution characteristics of the thematic structure in the field of child development captured in this study indicates an increasing focus on children’s cognitive development, with particular emphasis on the influence of working memory on children’s cognitive development.
