| What is sensory development? | the five major senses develop at different rates |
| Deterioration of synapses and dying off of neurons that are not strengthened by experience | Neuron pruning |
| Stages of Cognitive Development | -Stage 1: Sensorimotor, 0-2 yrs -Stage 2: Preoperational, 2-5 yrs -Stage 3: Concrete Operational, age 6-11 yrs -Stage 4: Formal Operational, 12+ yrs |
| Stage of Piaget's cognitive development Stage 1, 0-2 yrs -Infants learn about the world by using their senses and by moving their bodies | Sensorimotor |
