The Sensorimotor Stage: Relevance to Infants
2
Four Periods of Learning
Jean Piaget’s Theories Four Periods of Learning Sensorimotor Birth to about 2 yrs Preoperational 2-7 yrs Concrete Operations 7-11 Formal Operations 11 into adulthood 4.03-Sensorimotor Stage
3
Sensorimotor Stage Infant Scientist!
In this stage children learn about the world through their senses and body movements This stage is broken up into 6 different steps 4.03-Sensorimotor Stage
4
Sensorimotor Stage Birth to 1 month 1 to 4 months 4 to 8 months
5
Stage One: Birth to 1 month
Sensorimotor Stage Stage One: Birth to 1 month Practices inborn reflexes Infants are only aware of themselves They do not understand themselves as separate persons 4.03-Sensorimotor Stage
6
Sensorimotor Stage Stage Two: 1 to 4 months
Learn to combine two reflexes For example they wave their fists and then brings their fists to their mouths 4.03-Sensorimotor Stage
7
Sensorimotor Stage Stage Three: 4 to 8 months
They respond to other stimuli Improved hand-eye coordination For example, if a baby bumps a rattle and it makes a noise, he/she may try to bump it again. 4.03-Sensorimotor Stage
8
Sensorimotor Stage Stage Four: - 8 to 12 months Intentional behavior
They learn certain actions lead to certain results Imitate others 4.03-Sensorimotor Stage
9
Sensorimotor Stage They learn to follow objects with their eyes
They love playing Peek-A-Boo 4.03-Sensorimotor Stage
10
Sensorimotor Stage Ten months- learn Object Permanence
That objects continue to exist even when out of sight—can find partially hidden objects 4.03-Sensorimotor Stage
11
Sensorimotor Stage Stage Five: 12 to 18 months
Trial and error: Push a cracker off a high chair and watch it fall to the floor. Then, do it again . . . Can find hidden objects Understands that objects exist independently 4.03-Sensorimotor Stage
12
Sensorimotor Stage Stage Six: 18 to 24 months
Begin to experiment mentally as well as physically They think about what they are going to do before they do it 4.03-Sensorimotor Stage
