Object permanence - start of language development- sense of time and space/cause and effect-interacts with environment
What is object permanence
Ex: if you place a toy under a blanket, the child who has achieved object permanence knows it is there and can actively seek it. At the beginning of this stage the child behaves as if the toy had simply disappeared. The attainment of object permanence generally signals the transition to the next stage of development
How does behavior progress through the sensorimotor stage?
Reflexive-repetitive-initiative
