Question: 1 / 400

In what stage of development does infants become aware of objects?

Preoperational

Infancy

Conception

Sensorimotor

The sensorimotor stage is the first stage of development outlined in Piaget's theory of cognitive development. This stage occurs from birth until about 2 years old, during which infants start to develop a sense of object permanence and become aware of objects and their properties. Option A, preoperational stage, occurs from about 2 to 7 years old, which is too late for infants to become aware of objects. Option B, infancy, is a broad term that can refer to any stage from birth to 1 year old, so it does not specifically address when infants become aware of objects. Option C, conception, occurs before birth and does not relate to the development of awareness of objects. Therefore, the correct answer is D sensorimotor stage.
