|
Equilibration

|
|
Sensorimotor stage
|
Piaget's stage that lasts from birth to two years of age - infants construct an understanding of the world through sensory experiences and motor actions
|
|
Piaget divided the sensorimotor stages into how many substages?
|
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
