Detailed explanation-1: -The newborn is capable of certain inher-ited, automatic, coordinated movement patterns, called reflexes, that can be triggered by the right stimulus (see Figure 3.1). Many, but not all, infants are born with many such reflexes. The grasping reflex, for example, is a response to a touch on the palm of the hand.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Moro reflex, which is present in varying degrees in different babies, usually peaks during the first month and starts to disappear after about two months.
Detailed explanation-3: -Sensorimotor stage (0–2 years old) Preoperational stage (2–7 years old) Concrete operational stage (7–11 years old) Formal operational stage (11 years old through adulthood)
Detailed explanation-4: -The sensorimotor stage is the first stage of your child’s life, according to Jean Piaget’s theory of child development. It begins at birth and lasts through age 2. During this period, your little one learns about the world by using their senses to interact with their surroundings.
