The sensorimotor stage is the first of Piaget's stages of cognitive development, occurring from birth to about 2 years of age. During this stage, infants and toddlers learn about the world through their sensory experiences and their motor actions. The development of object permanence (the understanding that objects continue to exist even when they cannot be seen, heard, or touched) and the coordination of sensory information with physical action are key achievements of this stage.
