While a child watches, you hide a Cheerio under one of two cups in front of her. You hide the Cheerio under the red cup, and show the child that there is nothing under the blue cup. If this child has not yet achieved object permanence, she will: __________

a. not look for the Cheerio.
b. look for the Cheerio under the blue cup.
c. look for the Cheerio under the red cup.
d. look for the Cheerio in your hand.

Respuesta :

If this child has not yet achieved object permanence, she will not look for the cheerio: Option A is correct.

According to the fundamental concept of developmental psychology, object permanence describes the ability of a child to know that objects continue to exist even though these objects cannot be heard or seen physically.

When a child has not yet achieved object permanence, it means they have not reached the stage to know that objects can continue to exist even though these objects cannot be heard or seen physically

Based on this, a child that a cheerio was hidden from him/her no matter the position of such object will not bother to look for the Cheerio since they have not reached the stage to know that objects can continue to exist.
