SENSORIMOTOR SUB-STAGES:

Sub-stage 1: Birth to 1 month

In sub-stage 1, cognitive growth occurs in a “circular action.” Here, your baby learns to reproduce pleasing and gratifying experiences that first happen by chance. Consequently, the chance discovery is integrated into a schema, one that is both new and novel. Also in the first sub-stage, your child will work and stretch her reflexes until she achieves a sense of control. Only then will she initiate activity, even though the original stimulation for that behavior is absent. Sucking is a perfect example, as your baby will suck whatever her mouth touches, ultimately focusing on her sucking in particular when she wants something to eat and is offered Mother’s breast or a bottle. Soon, she will learn how to adjust and adapt her behavior, becoming more efficient at fulfilling her own wants and needs.75
