Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the substage of secondary circular reactions, which occurs between 4-8 months, infants start repeating actions that bring interesting or pleasurable results, particularly involving objects or other people. This is different from the previous substage of first habits and primary circular reactions, where infants repeat actions that are internally satisfying, such as sucking their thumb. Tertiary circular reactions, novelty, and curiosity substage involves experimenting with new behaviors and actively exploring the properties of objects, which occurs between 12-18 months, and simple reflexes is the first substage that occurs from birth to 1 month where infants are using innate reflexes to make sense of their environment.
