Children tend to develop in similar ways and with the same patterns. They will gurgle before talking, crawl before walking and hold a writing tool in a palmer grasp before developing the success of a pincer or tripod grip.…
At 0-12 months, a child’s social development includes making sounds to communicate whether crying or babbling and responding positively to family members and familiar people. Communication development follows a similar path. A child will recognise familiar voices, respond with smiles and start to imitate others. Physical development is rapid. A child will develop control of their head, learn to grasp objects, later use a pincer grasp and start to gain control of their body to enable them to sit unaided and eventually crawl. Young people of this age range are very egocentric. They begin to process information through images and commence to become aware of object permanence. Emotionally, a child at this age has a very strong bond with its parents, particularly the mother. They require reassurance and security and become upset when others are angry.…
Starting at 8 months my child has already gone through the first 3 sub stages of Piaget’s six sub stages of the sensorimotor stage. Simple reflexes was demonstrated while feeding, first habits and primary circular reactions where shown when studying things while looking at them and not touching. Secondary circular reactions happened when playing with toys like a rattle. Coordination of secondary circular reactions were seen when you would try to find a toy that was hidden, and even if the spot was changed would still look and find it under another toy. An example of the tertiary circular reactions was when in the bath he would push his toys under water and watch how the further he pushed down the higher they would pop back up. For the beginnings of thought he now seems interested in dancing or singing along to music, and will respond to it. Information processing approach I can categorize the finding of the hidden toy as the encoding, storage and retrieval, because initially he could not find it, then could find it but not if you changed the location, and then finally could find it no matter where you hid it.…
Physical - New born babies are born with many different reflexes to help them survive. These reflexes include the ability to swallow and suck reflexes, enabling them to feed. They also use a grasp reflex where they will automatically wrap their fingers around the caregiver’s finger or object when it is pressed against their palm. As the child ages there are many other physical developments that they learn by the time they are 4 weeks old they can focus on a face and follow an object, by the time they reach 5 months old they are able to lift their own head while they are lay flat on their stomach, roll over, wave a rattle or toy and try and reach for an object to hold. When the child reaches the age of 12 months the child should normally be crawling, sitting and able to pull themselves up on furniture and walk along it. The child will enjoy bouncing and clapping their hands along to music. Between the ages of 2-3 the child should be able to walk, run, climb up and down of furniture and be able to feed themselves.…
The physical development of a baby in its first six months of life shows limited range of movement but the beginnings of an ability to respond to stimulus around them. They show their reaction to people, sounds and movement by turning their head toward whatever attracts their attention. They will watch an adult’s face whilst feeding, but have already begun to shows signs of recognition as they will smile when familiar people are around them either because they can see them or hear their voice. Physically, they are capable of reaching up to hold their own foot, but are not able yet to roll over on their own. They are able to look and to reach for objects which once in their hands, invariably ends up in their mouth!…
By seven months time, a child has gained knowledge about permanency, the knowledge that an object still exist but not in the view of the infant. During this stage, the child adapts to various chains of simple activities to a wider range of situations of lengthy co-ordinates. They soon realize how in control they are with a particular object which allows them to manipulate and develop intellectual abilities. As they gain virtual abilities, they start to learn the appropriate actions and begin to communicate with others through sounds and simple words. Most children at this stage learn from their care-givers as well as their parents as they imitate the infant’s actions, movements, and sounds made by mouth.…

They baby develops through the scenes of sight, feeling and hearing. Showing awareness of outside stimuli through movement. At first these movements are reflexive e.g. starling to sudden sounds. But as the baby develops these responses these behaviors become intentional. For example the following of eyes of which they may focus on faces and respond with their own facial expressions.…

During this period, children ages birth to 2 years gather information through physical actions. This period is divided into stages that begins with newborns using reflexes to respond to certain stimuli to eventually discovering they “one object in a world of objects” (Miller, 2016, p. 42). My parents were able to provide me with many opportunities to learn about my world around me. I had lots of toys that allowed for exploration, and cognitive development. My mother read a book every night, and they did not change their routine and outings when I was born. They simply just took me along with them, allowing me to experience places other than my home. I went shopping, out to eat, fishing, and even rode along on my mother’s bicycle in an…
There are four stages to Piaget’s cognitive development: Sensorimotor, Preoperational, Concrete Operational, and Formal Operational. During early stages, from birth to twenty-four months, infants are only aware of what is right in front of them. The child focuses on their environment around them, and relies on seeing, touching, and feeling to learn things about themselves. According to Piaget, the most important development during this stage is the concept of “object permanence,” which occurs around seven to nine months. Object permanence is the awareness that object still exists, even when it can no longer be seen. For example, if you were to hide a toy under a blanket, a child who has developed object permanence knows that the toy is there and can find it. A child who has not developed object permanence believes the toy has disappeared. By the end of the Sensorimotor stage, an infant has began crawling, standing, and walking, and also have begun early language development.…
Symbolic thought, or the ability to visualize things that are not actually present, occurs in the sixth substage. This development begins the transition to the preoperational stage of cognitive development in Piaget’s theory. Piaget demonstrated the development of all these skills in the sensorimotor stage with the “Blanket and Ball Study” in 1963, where a ball is shown to the child and then hidden with a blanket. It is then taken out from under the blanket by Piaget and placed in a different location (Freud et al). Piaget deduced that before 8 months the baby made no attempt at searching and had no conception of object permanence. He found that between the ages of eight and twelve months they can perform the simple search, but if they have to retrieve it from a new area they will be unsuccessful. Between 12 and 18 months, Piaget found that both tasks of retrieving the ball are completed correctly and the child has developed the object’s…
