Question

You are babysitting for your neighbor's child who just turned one. You are playing with the child's favorite stuffed bear, but you notice that when you put the bear behind your back the child makes no attempt to find it and just starts to cry. Developmental psychologists would definitely say that the child has not developed:
a. rooting reflexb. object permanencec. laws of conservationd. secure attachment

Answer 1

Answer:

Object permanence

Explanation:

Object permanence is a fundamental concept in developmental psychology that explains that objects continue to exist even when they cannot be perceived (seen, heard, touched, smelled or sensed in any way). It studies the development of a child's mental and social capacities. Piaget was the first to study this concept and believed a child develops this capacity after the sensorimotor stage in his theory of cognitive development.

The example above shows the child is yet to develop the capacity to recognize the existence of the stuffed bear even if it isn't in sight.
