Learning in the first yearA baby’s brain is fed by what he or she
experiences through the senses. These experiences help the baby become organized.
Baby’s ability to learn from the senses, called perception, improves.
In just a few months babies can see farther away and learn hand-eye coordination
Babies develop for abilities that show growing thinking power:◦ Remembering◦ Making Associations (Parent=care)◦ Understanding Cause and Effect◦ Paying Attention

Piaget’s Theories
Jean Piaget, a Swiss psychologist, found that intellectual development followed a pattern. Children learn to master one thinking skill
before they can master another one.◦ Sensorimotor Period
Birth – 2 years Children learn through senses and their own actions Babies learn that objects do not just disappear (Peek-a-boo)
◦ Preoperational Period 2-7 years: Children think in terms of their own activities
and what they perceive at the moment
◦ Concrete Operations 7-11 years: Children can think logically but still learn best
through experience
◦ Formal Operations 11 years-Adulthood: People are capable of abstract
thinking
