Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Jean Piaget's sensorimotor stage occurs from birth to about 2 years old and is characterized by a child's learning about the world through their senses and motor skills. They develop object permanence, the understanding that objects continue to exist even when they are out of sight, and learn about their environment by handling different objects.
