Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sensorimotor period is characterized by schemata that revolve primarily around sensory and motor abilities, meaning that children's understanding of the world is based on what they see, hear, touch, taste, and smell, as well as what they can do with their bodies. They do not yet have the ability to reason mentally or consider hypothetical outcomes, as those skills develop in later stages. Reversibility, which involves understanding that actions can be undone or reversed, is also difficult for children in this period. Mental operations are tied to actual objects in the real world in the concrete operational period.
