Jean Piaget is one of the most noted psychologist in the field because of his contribute to developmental psychology and cognitive psychology. He studied his children and created a system on how kids learn and how they think. He created a theory describing how children understood the world in four stages. The four stages are Sensorimotor, Preoperational, Concrete Operational, and Formal Operations.
Sensorimotor is the first step in Piaget’s theory of cognitive development the ages range from 0-2 years old. At this stage the infant’s knowledge is based on sensory perception. For example, a 16 month infant sees their bottle and almost automatically their mind goes to feeding because they know that whenever they get the bottle they are soothed.
