I'd ask if I can quote you, but in fact you're quoting me.
Sensorimotor Stage (Birth-2 Years)
Even though Piaget was opposed to applying age norms to the stages,
most researchers consider approximately the first two years of life to
be the Sensorimotor Stage (McCormick, 1997). Infants mainly make use
of senses and motor capabilities to experience the environment. For
instance, if infants cannot see or touch an object, they stop trying
to find it. Once infants develop the capability to recognize that a
hidden object still continues to exist, they start searching for it.
The characteristic limitation of this stage is ‘thinking only by
doing’. The Sensorimotor infant gains physical knowledge.
