Sensorimotor
- infant uses senses and motor skills to learn the world
Sub I: birth to 1 month: reflex sucking bring pleasure, can recognize familiar objects, odors and sounds
Sub II: primary circular reactions (1-4 months)
Sub III: secondary circular reactions (4-8 months)
- repeat actions to achieve wanted results

by about 4 months (gradual decline)
when does the plantar and palmar grasp reflex leave?
6 months
