Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Victoria's behavior is indicative of the sensorimotor stage, which is from birth to about 2 years of age. In this stage, children learn about the world through their senses and actions. The fact that Victoria doesn't get upset when the kitten disappears suggests she has not yet developed object permanence, a key concept in the sensorimotor stage, where infants learn that objects continue to exist even when they cannot be seen, heard, or touched.
