    This type of behavior is exemplified by the infant when there is a need/want to attain a particular goal. An example of such is offered by Piaget’s game of rescuing hidden objects. According to Piaget, the infant’s participation in this activity (and the performance of intentional behavior) is proof that he/ she is gaining an understanding of one of the most important accomplishments in the sensorimotor stage, object permanence.…

    This means the way at which infants receive, process, and organize information gathered from their senses (“Infant Toddler,” 2012). Throughout the observation, the infant often imitated the teacher roaring, playing peek-a-boo, and bye-bye. The infant was also capable of distinguishing between whether or not an object was still present when hidden behind the teacher. The infant would move the teacher’s body part out of the way to see the object, which demonstrates an understanding of object permanence (“Infant Toddler,” 2012). The infant was also able to perceive the teacher’s intentions with different toys.…
