Reflex schemas (0–6 weeks): Involuntary responses to stimuli, e.g., sucking. – No attempt to locate objects that have disappeared. 2. Primary circular reactions (6 weeks–4 months): Attempts to repeat chance pleasurable actions, on or near the body, e.g. bringing thumb to mouth. - No attempt to locate objects that have disappeared 2. Secondary circular reactions (4–8 months): Attempts to repeat chance pleasurable actions in the environment, e.g. hitting a mobile, picking up a cup - Begins to search for objects that are partially hidden. 4. Coordinated secondary circular reactions (8–12 months): Can put ‘secondary circular reactions’ together to solve new problems, e.g. uncover, then grasp - Searches for completely hidden objects – but makes the A-not-B error 5. Tertiary circular reactions (12–18 months): Will deliberately vary an action pattern, to discover the consequences, e.g. dropping ball from different heights - Can follow visible displacements of an object 6.
