Piaget Theory: Stage 1 - Sensorimotor Period = birth - 2yrs

Phase 1: birth - 1 month = reflexes
1. sucking (1st one), grasping
2. adapt and modify movements in response to objects [shape, size, texture]
Phase 2: 1-4 months = primary circular reactions
1. co-ordinating behaviours
2. starting to integrate reflexes
3. when random movements lead to unexpected but pleasant outcome, which they then start to reproduce
Phase 3: 4-8 months = secondary circular reaction
1. working out reactions to behaviour
  1. cause and effect - realising direct consequences
2. learning connections between casual action and their effects on the environment
3. at the end of this stage able to retrieve partially hidden objects
Phase 4: 8-12 months = coordination of secondary schemas
1. acquire more advancement in effect, goal directed behaviour
2. show first genuine intentional behaviour
3. understanding object permanence = 9 months
  1. don't full understand as make the A not B error
    1. not yet able to separate concept of an object going missing and the actions used to find it
Phase 5: 12-18 months = tertiary circular reactions
1. play with objects in different ways, interact with the world in a flexible way
2. object permanence - no longer make A not B error
3. actively experimenting with different actions to examine its effect on the physical and social environment
Phase 6: 18 months - 2 years = representational thought
1. experimenting - "what will happen if I do this?"
2. prediction and planning not trial and error
3. ability to create mental representations - independent of perceptual or motor experience
4. first signs of "deferred imitation: - repetition of another's behaviour some time after it has been observed
