Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During the sensorimotor period, which lasts from birth to about 2 years old, children are exploring and learning about the world through their senses and motor activities. Object permanence is one of the key developments that occurs during this stage, which is the understanding that objects still exist even when they are out of sight. This ability develops gradually over the course of this period. Reversibility and conservation do not emerge until later stages of cognitive development, and abstract reasoning skills do not emerge until adolescence.
