Question

SCIEGO
In lecture. Professor Bloom discussed a study where infants view a possible event (a solid screen obscuring
a solid object) and an impossible event (a solid screen passing through a solid object). In contrast to
Piaget's conclusion regarding the age at which physical principles are understood, this study found that infants looked,:

a. longer at the impossible than the possible event
b. longer at the possible than the impossible event
C.about equally long at both events
d. for the object and tried to retrieve it in both conditions​

Answer 1

a. longer at the impossible than the possible event

Explanation:

• The word "object permanence" defines a child's ability  to realize that,although objects cannot be seen/heard, they do exist.
• In the theory of cognitive development created by psychologist Jean Piaget, the principle of "object  permanence" plays an important role. The infant should first create a "mental representation" of the object & realise that objects still remain in nature even though they are not seen.
• To determine if object permanence was present, Piaget would show a toy to an infant before hiding it or taking it away. In one version of his experiment, Piaget would hide an object under a blanket and then observe to see if the infant would search for the object.
• Piaget was of the view that children unhappy that the object  had gone did not have a sense of "object permanence", whereas those who had searched for the object achieved this stage of development. In Piaget’s experiments, this tended to occur around the age of 8 to 9 months.
