  • Stage 1- the sensori motor stage
  • Birth to 2 years
  • Child learns from interaction with environment- through their senses (sensori) and by moving around their environment (motor)
  • Object permanence
    At the start of the sensory motor stage if a toy is hidden from a baby, they will not search for it. Because the baby lacks object permanence.
  • Object permanence is when an infant knows an object or person exists even if they can’t be seen.
  • It takes time for a baby to develop object permanence, by the end of the sensori- motor stage the child would have developed object permanence if a toy is hidden from their view they will actively look for it.
