Explanation:

Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development highlights the importance of the sensorimotor stage. This stage is commonly seen in infants between birth and 2 years old. The term "sensorimotor" refers to the integration of sensory impressions with motor activities. During this stage, infants improve their motor skills, including gripping, reaching, crawling, and eventually walking.
