The first super-ability of newborns is recognition. At an early age, the baby is able to correlate new sensations with the experience already gained.
For example, the child was shown a bright toy, he carefully examined it. The next day he can recognize her.
At 3-4 months, the child will recognize the toy you showed him and will prefer it to everyone else.
At 4 months, the baby recognizes the face of mom and dad, and can distinguish the face of a friend from strangers.

Try this experiment:
Hide your favorite toy under one of 2 cloths of the same color.
Not all babies at 8 months will be able to find a toy in a second. At one year old, all the kids will find the toy in 1-3 seconds after they hide it.
After 8 months of age, babies have a reproduction - the image is restored in memory when there is no similar object nearby.
At 9-12 months, children repeat the "algorithm" of the adult's actions, even if a short time passes after the "show".
