Piaget’s Sensorimotor stage: Reflexes (birth to 1 month) – the child understands the environment through purely reflex like actions such as sucking and looking. Primary circular reactions (1 to 4 months) – the child becomes more focused on the world and actions are repeated intentionally in order to produce the elicited response. Secondary circular reactions (4 to 8 months) – a child can repeat an action in order to produce a wanted response‚ gradually learns about partial and then full occlusions

. Piaget sensorimotor stage starts at birth and ends at around 2. Piaget chose the name for this stage because infants learn about the world through sensory experiences. This stage can be divided into 6 different stages‚ the first being simple reflexes. Infants are born with little to no reflexes and they quickly learn sucking and rooting to survive. The next stage is the first habits and primary circular reactions. This is when an infant picks up two different schemes. A schemes is a learned habit

Measuring Intelligence Individual differences Discuss the main issues involved in defining and measuring intelligence Since the end of the nineteenth century psychologists were studding intelligence and they were trying to find the answer what is the intelligence and how it can be measure? Psychologists have /made a huge progress in the development of measuring intelligence but a little progress in defining intelligence.

Apart from testing intelligence‚ researchers were also interested in the question of what intelligence actually is. Today’s theories about intelligence are based on four approaches: 1) Psychometric theories try to answer the questions what forms intelligence takes and what its parts are. Important examples of such theories‚ mostly based on data collected from paper-and-pencil tests are: the Standford-Binet and the Wechsler Intelligence Scales (both for adults and children). Using data from such

Intelligence In the traditional view of China‚ people think intelligence is a person with high IQ and could get high score at the intelligence test. However‚ this should be the biggest misunderstanding at all. A person who can get high grade at the test may just be good at the test‚ and it can never prove the person is intelligence in every field of life. Intelligence is a word to describe a person who is wise. According to my understanding‚ intelligence includes much more

Within the discipline of psychology‚ various approaches to human intelligence have been adopted

enormous. According to Piaget’s sensorimotor stage‚ children learn through sensory and motor experiences. By “touching‚ mouthing‚ watching‚ and listening‚ as well as all fine motor and gross motor activity” (Beitz‚ 2012‚ para. 12)‚ a child explores her world. In addition‚ there are learning capacities that are used to teach children including classical conditioning‚ operant conditioning‚ habituation‚ and imitation. In this essay‚ I will discuss how the Sensorimotor stage of Piaget’s cognitive developmental
