Document Summary

Circular reactions= everything"s repetitive, very repetitive, also b/c its oriented towards their own body so about basic needs and that they"ll change behavior in response to environmental demands. Reacting to the environment, whereas in the next stage they know they can affect the environment. Controversy over imitation, some thoeirsts say that babies are capable of imitation by this point, but piaget didn"t think so. Paiget didn"t think that babies could do that until 10-12 months. Coordination of secondary circular reactions (8-12 months) Goal directed behavior, combination of schemes not just grasping and holding onto something its both grasping, holding, and putting it somewhere else. @ all until this age and some believe that it"s there before then: babies start to fuss when parents leave, younger child doesn"t realize that but in this stage they do. Physical causality: intentional, goal directed behavior, realizes that actions have consequences, when they do something there"s physical causality.
