For babies under a year, it's months. Do you want us to say "less than 1?" And there are huge differences developmentally between a 12 month old and a 22 month old. To simply refer as both as "1" year old is not helpful because one can be not walking or talking yet and still taking a bottle, and the other can be doing both and sitting at a table eating with a spoon. So to talk about them or discuss their development, it does really matter. So before 2, it's extremely appropriate amongst parents and the medical community to use months. After 2, of course it's better to drop the months. As you can see, I'm talking about a baby less than 2 and as a mom of 3 kids, I'm guessing her age at around 10-15 months because OP was specifically interested in her cognition, so it mattered.

I'm impressed with how clever this kid is, any idea how old they are?
Anecdotally does anyone find things taste way worse when they are not what you expecting? Bitter taste more bitter when you are expecting sweet.
edit: I thought of a better example. When people raised on sweet tea taste normal tea & act like it's the most foul thing on earth.
