-Piaget has divided human cognitive development into **four stages**: sensorimotor,​ preoperational,​ concrete, and formal, as they are described below. Ages describing when which stage occurs are the average values.+In 1947((Piaget,​ J. The Psychology of Intelligence. 1947.)) ​Piaget has first introduced his **four stages** ​of human cognitive development: sensorimotor,​ preoperational,​ concrete, and formal, as they are described below. Ages describing when which stage occurs are the average values.
  
   * **Sensorimotor stage** (birth to 2 years): In this stage cognitive system of an infant is limited to **motor reflexes**, but also some more complex procedures built on those reflexes. Infant interacts with the environment and **learns to understand the world**. Learning takes place through **absorbing into the existing schema** and accommodating when schema change is required.((Piaget also uses concepts of schema and schemata, later expanded by Anderson. See: [[learning_theories:​Schema theory]]))   * **Sensorimotor stage** (birth to 2 years): In this stage cognitive system of an infant is limited to **motor reflexes**, but also some more complex procedures built on those reflexes.
