The Sensorimotor Stage: From Birth To 2 Years
Jat included 4 stages:
1-The Sensorimotor Stage: from birth to 2 Years
Major Characteristics and Developmental Changes:
• The infant knows the world through their movements and sensations.
• Kids learn about the world through basic actions and experience.
• They realize that their actions can cause things to happen in the world around them. It is during this stage that kids go through a period of dramatic growth and learning. As children interact with their environment, they are continually making new discoveries about how the world works. The cognitive development that occurs during this period takes place over a relatively short period of time and involves a great deal of growth. Kids not only learn how to perform physical actions, they also learn a great deal about language from the persons around them.

Kids become much more skilled at pretend play during this stage of development, yet still think very concretely about the world around them. Children learn through pretend play but still struggle with logic and taking the point of view of other people. They also often struggle with understanding the idea of constancy. (Cherry, 2017).
3-The Concrete Operational Stage: from age 7 to 11 Years
Major Characteristics and Developmental Changes
• Children begin to think logically about concrete events.
• They begin to understand the concept of conservation.
• The thinking of children becomes more logical and organized, but still very
