Does Sarah problem solve or learn through creative play? Does Sarah have an egocentric viewpoint? Can Sarah tell that quantity stays the same, even…

These four stages are: 1-Sensory Motor Stage that occurs in kids from births to two years old. 2-Preoperational that…

purpose of this study was to find out if they know and understand what object permanence in two phases that the participants go through (Baillargeon, 1986). According to Renee Baillargeon (1986), there were two ways the young infant’s participants would be test; first experiment would be the ability to show the presence and location of a hidden object, and second one would be the ability to show the trajectory of a hidden moving object (Baillargeon, 1986).

Over the course of a child’s life until adulthood they go through the four stages; sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and…
