For systems with a long life‚ maintenance costs may be several times development costs. * Software engineering is concerned

Piaget’s theory of cognitive development consists of four evident phases. The first is referred to as the sensorimotor stage. This stage typically occurs between birth and two years of age. During the sensorimotor stage children at first rely solely on the reflexes (sucking and rooting for example) that they were born with. Intelligence manifests itself through motor activities‚ for example children learn to crawl and walk during this stage. Most of the knowledge acquired during this stage is through

to Piaget’s stages of cognitive development‚ children constantly absorb knowledge as they experience and explore their world. Piaget has classified children’s growth into 4 stages. The first being the Sensorimotor stage which is from birth to 2 years old. This stage the infant explores the world with their eyes‚ ears‚ hands and mouth. The next stage is the Preoperational stage which is preschool children between 2 to 7 years olds. At this stage there is development of language and make-believe play
