Hereof, what are the main characteristics of Piaget's sensorimotor stage?
The sensorimotor stage is composed of six sub-stages and lasts from birth through 24 months. The six sub-stages are reflexes, primary circular reactions, secondary circular reactions, coordination of reactions, tertiary circular reactions, and early representational thought.
Also to know, what is an example of sensorimotor stage?
Primary Circular Reactions (1-4 months) This substage involves coordinating sensation and new schemas. For example, a child may suck his or her thumb by accident and then later intentionally repeat the action. These actions are repeated because the infant finds them pleasurable.
According to Piaget, one of the most important accomplishments in infancy is the development of: object permanence. Piaget suggested that the third substage of the sensorimotor stage occurred between ages: 4 and 8 months.
