Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Consider the scenario: a baby who stops searching for an object (the keys) once it’s out of sight when the parent removes it. This behavior reflects understanding about whether an object continues to exist when not visible, a concept Piaget called object permanence.
Option: affordances. This term refers to perceived opportunities for action that objects provide (e.g., a handle suggesting grasping or pulling). It does not address whether the object continues to exist when out of sight, so it doesn’t explain Hugh’s behavior.
Option: conservation. Conservation is the recognition that quantities remain the same despite changes in appearance (like liquid in different glasses). This concept develops later and is unrelated to whether an unseen object still exists, so this choice is not fitting here.
Option: egocentrism. Piaget described egocentrism as a child’s difficulty taking another’s viewpoint, especially in early stages. The question is about awareness of object existence, not about perspective-taking, so citing egocentrism misses the relevant cognitive milestone.
Option: object permanence. This concept directly answers the scenario: if Hugh does not search when the keys are hidden or removed from view, he may not yet grasp that the object still exists even when not visible, which is exactly the definition of object permanence in Piaget’s theory.
