In their sensorimotor stage, from birth to age 2, children experience the world through their senses and actions (Myers, 2013). 1b. According to Piaget, within that stage, between 1- 6 months, babies live in the present because they lack in object permanence. Meaning, they are unaware that objects exist even when they are not visible at that moment. By 8 months of age, object of permanence begin to emerge because infants begin to develop memory for objects that are not perceived (Myers, 2013).
Jean Piaget best described the stages from birth to two years in what he called the sensorimotor stage. It is a stage based on infants and toddlers cognitive development. An infant uses his or her senses and motor abilities to understand the world, beginning with reflexes and ending with complex combinations of sensorimotor skills (Boeree, G.C. (2009). During the first four months of life, according to Piaget, infants interact with the world through primary circular reactions.
