Piaget's Stages of Cognitive Development Sensory Motor Period (0 - 24 months) | Developmental Stage & Approximate Age | Characteristic Behavior | Reflexive Stage (0-2 months) | Simple reflex activity such as grasping, sucking. | Primary Circular Reactions(2-4 months) | Reflexive behaviors occur in stereotyped repetition such as opening and closing fingers repetitively. | Secondary Circular Reactions (4-8 months) | Repetition of change actions to reproduce interesting consequences such as kicking one's feet to more a mobile suspended over the crib. | Coordination of Secondary Reactions (8-12 months) | Responses become coordinated into more complex sequences. Actions take on an "intentional" character such as the infant reaches behind a screen to obtain a hidden object.

Disengagement cues include whimpering, frowning, and an increase in the rate of sucking (Brazelton, Koslowski, & Main, 1974). Children’s early vocal development is usually described in terms of stages. These stages include the following (Bernthal & Bankson, 2004): 1. Reflexive and cry vocalizations stage, which is observed during the first month of life.
