Answer:
6 sensorimotor stages.
Explanation:
The sensorimotor stage of development according to Piaget has 6 sub-stages. These include:
- Simple reflexes: In the first month of life, a neonate is capable of responding to external stimuli with innate reflex actions.
- Primary circular reactions: Between 1 and 4 months, intentionally repeated pleasurable actions are performed by the baby on its body.
- Secondary circular reactions: Between 4 and 8 months, these intentionally repeated pleasurable actions are performed not only on the baby's body but also with objects.
- Coordination of reactions: Occurring between 8 and 12 months, a baby now uses acquired knowledge to achieve a goal.
- Tertiary circular reactions: In this stage, babies are more intentional about adaptations to certain situations. Rather than pull objects apart, they attempt putting objects back together.
- Early symbolic thought: In this stage, mental representations of objects are now formed.
