Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Piaget believed that intentional, goal-directed behavior first occurs in Substage 4 of the sensorimotor period, which starts around 8-12 months old. In this stage, infants begin to coordinate their actions to achieve a specific goal, such as reaching for a toy. They also develop an understanding of cause and effect relationships, and can anticipate the outcomes of their actions.
