Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During the second substage of the sensorimotor period, infants start to gain voluntary control over their actions through the primary circular reaction. They repeat actions that have pleasurable outcomes, such as sucking their thumb, and begin to coordinate different senses, like looking and touching, to gain a better understanding of their surroundings. This substage lasts from one to four months of age.
