Answer to Question 1

ANSWER: The sensorimotor stage of cognitive development occurs from birth to about age two. Piaget identified six substages. Reflex (Substage 1): reflex actions become more organized. Differentiation (Substage 2): repeats owns actions, begins to coordinate actions, such as hearing and looking. Reproduction (Substage 3): intentionally repeats interesting actions. Coordination (Substage 4): intentionally acts as a means to an end and develops concepts of object permanence. Experimentation (Substage 5):
experiments through trial and error. Representation (Substage 6): carriers out mental trial and error and develops symbols.
