Flashcards
Goal-directed action (sensorimotor)
Goal-directed action (sensorimotor)
A purposeful action performed by an infant to achieve a specific outcome (e.g., reaching for a toy).
Higher-level goal-directed action
Higher-level goal-directed action
More complex goal-directed actions, involving multiple steps or problem-solving (e.g., using a container to retrieve a hidden object).
Object permanence (age)
Object permanence (age)
The understanding that objects continue to exist even when out of sight, typically develops around 3-4 months.

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.
