Summary

Infants prefer repetitive visual patterns, unlike adults who are drawn to sudden changes. This attention preference shifts during development, indicating brain maturation and cognitive changes from infancy to toddlerhood.

Piaget's Stage 1 of Cognitive Development

The sensorimotor stage, the initial phase of Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development, spans the first two years of a child's life. During this period, infants actively engage with their surroundings, building cognitive awareness through direct interaction with the world. This interaction is primarily based on sensory perception and motor actions, allowing infants to gradually understand basic physical properties and predict how objects interact within their environment.
