and repetitive activities that are mostly make believe. True or False

Answer 1

True. The sensorimotor stage occurs between birth and two years, within which infants try and understand their environment, including walking and speech with the help of their motor and senses. The pre-operational stage between 2 to 7 years is a crucial period where infants engage in interesting activities by pretending and role-playing. The stage is critical in language development, coming from repetition and adaptation to their environment. The stage involves the repetition of a single task with single-lateral thinking. Thus, these stages are critical in cognitive development through repetition and adaption.
