Study Notes
- Infancy is the sensorimotor stage, involving seeing, hearing, moving, touching, and tasting.
- Object permanence, the understanding that objects exist even when out of view, develops during this stage.
- Infants as young as 3-4 months may know that an object still exists, but lack memory and motor skills to find it.
- Logical, goal-directed actions also develop during this stage.
- A higher-level "container toy" scheme is an example of goal-directed action.
- Reversing actions is a basic accomplishment of the sensorimotor stage.
- Learning to imagine the reverse of a sequence of actions takes much longer.
- Infants before object permanence can be easily distracted and have objects taken away.
- Older infants who search for hidden objects demonstrate an understanding of object permanence.
- The sensorimotor stage is the beginning of constructing mental representations.
