object permanence - 2024 ACF Fall

Question

Renée Baillargeon concluded that 5-month-old human infants possess this ability because the infants reliably stared longer when a solid object appeared to move through the space occupied by another solid object. For 10 points each:

[10m] Name this ability. The A-not-B error, a type of perseveration error, occurs when animals without this ability believe an item is not in a location where the item is demonstrated to be placed.

ANSWER: object permanence

[10h] Jean Piaget theorized that object permanence develops in humans during this first of four stages of cognitive development. In this stage, infants develop progressively more advanced circular reactions.

ANSWER: sensorimotor stage

[10e] Infants also develop basic types of these actions in the sensorimotor stage. The first of these actions to develop in infants is typically sucking, eye tracking, or palmar grasp, and the knee-jerk is an adult example of these actions.

ANSWER: reflexes [accept reflex action; accept patellar reflex or knee reflex; prompt on reactions]
