Question

After an 8-month-old successfully solved the object-under-the-blanket task several times, Piaget introduced a second blanket next to the first, showed the infant the object, and this time placed it under the second blanket. Infants at this age then looked for the object _

Answer 1

Answer:

under the first blanket    

Explanation:

In the question above, the eight-month-old child is in the sensorimotor stage of cognitive development and more specifically in the second sub-stage of sensorimotor stage i.e, secondary circular reaction.

According to Piaget, a child who is in the secondary circular reactions' sub-stage possesses the age between four to eight months. In this sub-stage, a child is more focused towards the world around him or her and therefore purposefully repeat a specific behavior in order to get a similar response from the surrounding environment. A child often becomes "object-oriented" at this stage.
