CreditsCurrent as of: September 20, 2021 Author: Healthwise Staff During which of Piaget's stages of sensorimotor development does adaptation first occur?Stage 2. Primary circular reactions (infants between 1 and 4 months). Infants begin to adapt their reflexes as they interact with their environment.
What are the first two stages of sensorimotor intelligence?First two stages are primary circular reactions. New adaption and anticiption: becoming more delibarete and purposeful in responding to people and objects.
At what age do infants typically speak their first recognizable word?Infants typically begin to produce recognizable words when they are around 12 months of age, though babbling may continue for some time afterward.
At what age do infants begin to anticipate and solve simple problems by using mental combinations?Infants 8–12 months of age begin to combine schemes into new, more complex action sequences in the coordination of secondary circular reactions. In this substage, they begin exhibiting intentional or goal-directed behavior, and they begin learning to solve simple problems [1, 2, 4].
