6
What are the substages of the sensorimotor stages?
1 Simple reflexes, 2 first habits and primary circular reactions, 3 secondary circular reactions, 4 coordination of secondary circular reactions, 5 tertiary circular reactions, 6 novelty and curiosity, internalization of schemes
Simple reflexes
the first month after birth - sensation and action are coordinated primarily through reflexive behaviors such as rooting and sucking
First habits and primary circular reactions
1 month to 4 months - the infant coordinates sensation and two types of schemes (primary circular reaction is a scheme base on the attempt to reproduce an event that initially occurred by chance)
Secondary circular reactions
4 to 8 months - infants become more object oriented moving beyond preoccupation with the self
Coordination of secondary circular reactions
8 to 12 months - infant must coordinate vision and touch, eye and hand, actions become more outwardly directed
Tertiary circular reactions
12 to 18 months - infants become intrigued by the many properties of objects and by the many things that they cn make happen to objects
Novelty and curiosity, internalization of schemes
18 to 24 months - the infant develops the ability to use primitive symbols
