Document Summary
Lecture: piaget"s sensorimotor stage: evaluating piaget"s sensorimotor stage, the a-not-b error. Infants tend to look for objects in familiar places rather. This error does not show up consistently than looking for it in new places: might be due to failure in memory or that infants tend to repeat a previous motor behavior. Older infants less likely to make this error because their: perceptual development and expectations concept of object permanence is more complete. Some theorists argue that infants" perceptual abilities are. Research suggests that infants develop the ability to understand how the world works at a very early age. Spelk believes that nature plays a more important role in infant development. Animism: belief that inanimate objects have lifelike qualities cars, clouds, etc. & begin to use language and engage in pretend play. Children begin to use primitive reasoning and want to. This substage is called intuitive because children seem so.
