Just as how a scientist conducts experiments and observes the unknown, an infant tests objects.
At this age, infants observe using their senses i.e the touch, feel, taste etc.
They learn how things work by throwing, pushing, dropping and observing the cause and effect relationship.
Around the age of 8-12 months, babies start to understand the concept of ‘Object Permanence’. That is, they begin to understand that even if an object is hidden/out of sight, it is still around. For example, if you cover your child’s toy with a blanket or a towel, he/she will lift the blanket/towel to find the toy. This is a cognitive skill particular to this age which cannot be observed in younger babies.
When a baby is almost 12months old, he/she will understand that each object has a separate and specific function. For example, if you give a spoon to a 6 month old baby, the baby will just hold and play with it or put it in the mouth. A 9 month old baby will throw the spoon on the floor. However, a 12 month old baby will attempt to eat .
