Piaget's study of how infants construct the concepts of permanent objects, space, time, and causality through sensorimotor experience — the foundations of reality construction.
Object permanence: infants under 8 months do not understand that objects continue to exist when out of sight — they must construct this concept through action. Space, time, and causality as constructed rather than innate. The sensorimotor stage: the first 18 months of cognitive development as the foundation of all later knowledge.
