b) Xander has developed a sense of egocentrism.
c) Xander is clearly in the concrete operations stage.
d) Xander has not yet attained object permanence.

Answer 1

Answer:

D) Xander has not yet attained object permanence.

Explanation:

Object permanence is the perception that objects remain even though they can't be seen, used, touched, smelled or perceived in some way.

Xandra is still young, he isn't able to recognize different objects yet, when his caretaker takes the rattle away, he begins looking at the kitchen light in the background and does not seem to look for the rattle.

Usually, object permanence tends to grow between 4-7 months of age and includes a baby's perception that when things go down, they're not gone forever. Once the baby understands this idea, things are gone, absolutely gone, which ruin his vision.

Answer 2

Answer: Xander has not yet attained object permanence.

Explanation: Object permanence is the understanding (typically developed during early infancy) that an object still exists even when it disappears from sight, touch, smell or other senses. Object permanence is considered to be one of the earliest methods for evaluating working memory. Because an individual that has attained object permanence will try to reach for the rattle or make attempts to inform the caretaker to return it back.
