During the sensorimotor phase of the child's development (from birth to 2 years old), the child learns about the world through his senses and the manipulation of objects. The main achievement during this phase is the permanence of the object, that is, knowing that an object still exists, even if you cannot see it. This requires the ability to form a mental representation of objects.
