In the first substage, simple reflexes, the infant's behavior is limited to reflex responses to stimuli. In the second substage, first habits and primary circular reactions, the infant begins to coordinate sensation and new schema are developed. In the third substage, secondary circular reactions, the infant becomes more goal-directed and can coordinate multiple schema to achieve a goal. In the fourth substage, tertiary circular reactions, novelty, and curiosity, the infant experiments with different approaches to solving problems and develops novel ways of achieving goals. Therefore, the best choice for the substage in which the infant learns to coordinate sensation and types of schemes is B, first habits and primary circular reactions.
