Sensorimotor Intelligence

Sensorimotor intelligence refers to the way infants understand and interact with the world through their senses and actions. During early development, babies learn about their environment by seeing, touching, tasting, and moving. They gradually discover that their actions can cause certain outcomes, like shaking a toy to hear a sound. This stage, typically from birth to around two years old, involves building a basic understanding of objects and cause-and-effect relationships through direct experience. It lays the foundation for more complex cognitive abilities as children grow and learn.
