Answer 1

The answer is, has not yet attained even rudimentary object permanence.

Base on Piaget's Cognitive development, this falls under Stage 1 the Sensorimotor Stage. It explains that under the ages of 18-24 months, there is a development and realization of things that they believe to are always there. In a case where wanted a specific toy and it is not placed where it used to be, they have a state of remembering which is known as the object of permanence. This is a sign that their mind is developing.
