⩥ Sensorimotor Stagge. Answer: Piaget's Cognitive Development
Theory. Birth - 2 years Goal: Object Permanence. Infant focuses on
physical sensations and on learning to coordinate their body. Learns
about the world through their senses and moving and exploring their
environment.
⩥ object permanence. Answer: Piaget - Sensorimotor stage. the
understanding the permanence of objects and that they will still exist
even if they can't be seen. Infants will search for the objects when
they disappear. Requires the ability to form a mental representation

⩥ Preoperational stage. Answer: Piaget - Cognitive Development

stage, the child does not use operations, so the thinking is influenced

egocentric and assumes other people see the world as he does. As the
stage develops, egocentrism declines and children enjoy participation

things symbolically during this stage
, ⩥ Concrete Operational Stage. Answer: Piaget's Cognitive
