Vanishing Toys
Here’s an interesting (if ultimately inconclusive) article from Scientific American on how babies learn object permanence. One recent study indicates it’s a gradual learning, not an “aha.” The results can be interpreted differently, however, depending on how one defines the varying degress of familiarity babies have with objects. Interesting (and relatively short) reading, though, for anyone who has or had infants.
