Question

Piaget suggested that children do not develop object permanence until between 8 and 12 months of age. The research of Renee Baillargeon has found that this skill may develop much earlier. What was the difference that allowed Baillargeon to find such an earlier development of object permanence?

Answer 1

Answer:

longer period of time shall not be taken by an infant  to visualize something  which he/she is habituated

Explanation:

Researchers like  Renee Baillargeon estimate the infants’ visual response to object occlusions as a base of giving any theory about permanence

Once a child gets habitualize by watching some thing, his her visual response time as well as the staring attribute of vision reduces.  

According to Renee Baillargeon if some thing is permanent then an infant must not look at it for a longer period of time.  

Thus, Baillargeon concluded that infants as young as 3 years exhibit object permanence
