According to Piaget, the sensorimotor stage consists of six sub-stages that starts from the birth of a child and lasts through twenty-four months.
Secondary Circular Reactions: The sub-stage starts from four months of a child and lasts through eight months of age.

A child becomes more object-oriented in this stage as the child gets aware of things around him or her accept his or her body.
