According to Piaget, the sensorimotor period is composed of six substages. Define and provide an example of each substage

What will be an ideal response?

A good answer would include the following substages:
• One—Simple reflexes—Various reflexes determine the infant's interactions
• Two—Primary circular reaction—Coordination of separate actions into single, integrated activities
• Three—Secondary circular reactions—Shift occurs from focus on oneself to the outside world
• Four—Coordination of secondary circular reactions—Use more calculated approaches to produce events and coordinate several schemes to generate a single act; goal-directed behaviors; object permanence is achieved
• Five—Tertiary circular reactions—Use of deliberate variation of actions that bring desirable consequences
• Six—Beginnings of thought—Develops capacity for mental representations
