Sensorimotor Phase I 0-1 mo

Reflexes
Sucking, rooting, and grasping

Sensorimotor Phase II 1-4 mo

Primary Circular Reaction
Will repeat behavior of reflex. i.e. grasp toy

Sensorimotor Phase III 4-8 mo

Secondary Circular Reaction
More aware of environment
Cause and effect i.e. sound of bottle preparation

Sensorimotor Phase IV 8-12 mo

Coordination of Secondary Schemata
Object permanence begins, remembers where a hidden object might be.

Sensorimotor Phase V 12-18 mo

tertiary Circular Reaction:
Stranger anxiety develops
Curiosity, experimentation
Puts objects in mouth and bangs them.

Sensorimotor Phase VI 18-24 mo

Object permanence fully developed
Language develops
