Week 3 post 1

As a watch my nieces and nephews grow up I am always in awe to how babies do things. Its like how the box that their toy came in will keep them more entertained than the actual toy. The fact that they take the simplest things, and make it into so much more. Sensorimotor intelligence deals with the way infants think it’s a Piaget’s term and is the first period of cognitive development. There are six different stages in the sensorimotor intelligence. Stage one is from birth to one month where they’re just staring, listening, grasping and sucking, us normally people like to call this the newness stage where we’re just so fascinated with the new babies. Then there is stage two which is from one to four months, which is where they start to adapt by using the pacifiers and grabbing for their bottles.  After that it’s the stage 3 four to eight months, which falls under secondary circular reactions. During this stage you see the child responding better to people when they say certain phrases. Stage four is also a part of the secondary circular reactions, stage four is from eight to twelve months. Is where they go through the phase of new adaptation and anticipation.They remember certain games that you play with them so they will shape your hands however they want which is there way of saying they want to play for instance peek a boo they might put your hands over your eyes. The last category is the tertiary circular reactions which is stage five and six. In stage five  it deals with twelve to eighteen months old this stage is where the infants are experiment they are active and getting into everything. The last stage is stage six which deals with infants eighteen to twenty four months old. This is where we see that the child is acting considering or thinking before one acts. That could be due to a previous experience that they had. You also see them coming up with different ways to achieve a goal.
