Jean Piaget Advanced.Piaget's 4 Developmental StagesANSWER1. Sensorimotor stage (birth-2 yrs/acquisition of language) 2. Preoperational stage (2-7 yrs) 3. Concrete operational stage (7-11 yrs) 4. Formal operational stage (11-16 and up) Sensorimotor StageANSWERThe children experience the world through movement and their five senses. During the sensorimotor stage children are extremely egocentric, meaning they cannot perceive the world from others' viewpoints. The sensorimotor stage is divided into six substages. The sensorimotor stage is the first of the four stages in cognitive development which "extends from birth to the acquisition of language". In this stage, infants progressively construct knowledge and understanding of the world by coordinating experiences (such as vision and hearing) with physical interactions with objects (such as grasping, sucking, and stepping). Infants gain knowledge of the world from the physical actions they perform within it. They progress from reflexive, instinctual action at birth to the beginning of symbolic thought toward the end of the stage. Children learn that they are separated from the environment. They have aspect of environment, even though they may be outside the reach of a child's senses. In this stage, according to Piaget, the development of object permanence is one of the most important accomplishments. Object permancenceANSWERObject permanence is a child's understanding that objects continue to exist even though he or she cannot be seen or heard. Peek-a-boo is a good test for that. By the end of the sensorimotor period, children develop a permanent sense of self and object. 6 Substages of the Sensorimotor StageANSWER1. Simple reflexes; From birth to one month old. At this time infants use reflexes such as rooting and sucking. 2. First habits and primary circular reactions;
