Tia is most likely in "stage 5".

Piaget verified that cognitive development included six substages in the sensorimotor stage:

Stage 1 - Reflexes (newborns between birth and 1 month).

Stage 2 - Primary circular reactions (infants between 1 and 4 months).

Stage 3 - Secondary circular reactions (infants between 4 and 8 months).

Stage 4 - Coordination of secondary circular reactions (infants between 8 and 12 months).

Stage 5 - Tertiary circular reactions (toddlers between 12 and 18 months). Babies wind up innovative at this stage and explore different avenues regarding new practices. They attempt varieties of their unique practices instead of rehashing similar practices.

Stage 6 - Mental combinations
