Jean Piaget on Object Permanence - Dictionary of Arguments
Slater I 86 Object Permanence/Piaget: Thesis: Piaget (1954)(1) object permanence - an awareness that an object continues to exist when not available to the senses (literally „out of sight, out of mind“) - was not fully acquired until the second year of life had dominated thinking about early infant cognition. BaillargeonVsPiaget: (Baillargeon, Spelke and Wasserman (1985)(2) showed that infants as young as 5 months of age and later 3.5 months of age, Baillargeon 1987(3)) appeared to remember the continued existence of hidden objects and are aware that they maintained some of their physical properties. >Object permanence/Baillargeon, >Object permanence/Connectionsm. >Development stages/Piaget, >Psychological theories on development stages. 1.
