In the context of Jean Mandler's theory of 'Image-schema and Conceptual Development', which is the main cognitive process used by infants in early infancy to transform sensorimotor experiences into abstract concepts?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
According to Jean Mandler's theory of cognitive development, infants extract 'spatial-primitive schemas' or perceptual images from their sensorimotor interactions and transform them into abstract concepts through a 'perceptual-to-conceptual transition'. This process explains how children begin to conceptualize the meaning of objects and events even before learning language.
