    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.
