In the first four weeks from conception, fetal growth of the ovum begins with development of the spinal cord, nervous system, gastrointestinal system, heart and lungs. By eight weeks, in the embryonic stage, the face is forming, arms and legs move, the baby's heart begins beating and the brain and other organs form.
The six sub-stages are: reflexes, primary circular reactions, secondary circular reactions, coordination of reactions, tertiary circular reactions and early representational thought. As babies progress through each sub-stage, they continue to develop cognitive, or thinking, skills to further their overall development.
