Question 1. According to Piaget, there are four stages of human cognitive development. These stages include sensory-motor stage, pre-occupational stage, concrete operational stage, and the formal operations stage. The sensory motor stage occurs starting from birth to about two years. During this stage, the child is able to use objects, and only understands his or her environment by relating it to objects (Piaget 14). Babies are triggered by stimuli in this stage, where they learn how to make simple movements such as in reaching out for an object.

Question 4g The emotional IQ test I have taken says that my emotional intelligence levels are okay, however, I need to work on developing and improving relationships with other people as some may be strained more than others. My emotional IQ level is not related to my experiences as an infant. This is because some of the issues I face socially have developed over time while interacting with people from teenage. Emotional intelligence is sometimes not linked to experiences had during infancy (Hughes and James 26).

Question 5a
