Sensorimotor Intelligence is Piaget’s term for the way infants think. Cognitive development begins at birth and ends around 24 months. The notes say that there are three types of feedback loops in sensorimotor intelligence. It involves the infant’s responses to its body. There are four stages to this. The first stage is the stage of reflexes, like sucking on objects. The second stage is the stage of first habits, this includes grabbing objects like their bottle to suck it. The third stage is the stage of making interesting events last, an example of this would be clapping hands when told to. The fourth and last stage is the stage for adaptation and anticipation. This would be like the baby doing something to for you to start playing with them

An object permanence is the realization that objects still exist when they can no longer be seen, touched, or hear. I do this with the kids I babysit and we use a laundry basket and they put it on their head and we act as if they have disappeared, but really they are still there. The power point also talks about habituation which is Piaget and the modern research. Habituation is the process of getting used to an object or event through repeated exposure to it. We also learn about the information processing theory. This theory is where theorists believe that a step-by-step description of mechanisms of thought adds insight to our understanding of cognition at every age. We then move into talking about movement and people. Dynamic perception focuses on movement and change. This is where you keep at your child to help them to start grabbing things so that they can move on to eventually grabbing their bottle to feed themselves. People preference is an innate attraction to other humans. Babies will start to recognize a familiar face and will expect certain affordances from them. This reminds me of a grandmother. Ever since I was little I always associated my grandparents with food because they always bring food or make food for
