Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
James reached for his rattle toy which he likes to shake and then put it in his mouth. Which substage of the Sensorimotor of Cognitive Development applies?
A
Primary circular responses
B
Secondary circular responses
C
Coordinated secondary circular responses
D
Tertiary circular responses
E
None of the choices
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Secondary circular reactions. This substage is characterized by repeated actions involving objects that cause the baby pleasure. An example of this would be when a baby continuously shakes a rattle just to hear the sound of the rattle.

Detailed explanation-2: -Examples of events that occur during the sensorimotor stage include the reflexes of rooting and sucking in infancy, learning to sick and wiggle fingers, repeating simple actions like shaking a rattle, taking interest in objects in the environment, and learning that objects they cannot see continue to exist.

Detailed explanation-3: -Piaget separated his sensorimotor period into six sensorimotor substages: reflexive schemes, primary circular reactions, secondary circular reactions, coordination of secondary circular reactions, tertiary circular reactions, and mental representations [1–4].

Detailed explanation-4: -Substage 5: Tertiary Circular Reactions. For example, the child might throw her ball down the stairs to see what happens. The toddler’s active engagement in experimentation helps them learn about their world.
