Answer
  • Constructivism
  • Behaviourism
  • Evolutionary
  • Biological
  • Sociological

Question 2

Question
When, according to Piaget (1936, 1953), do the first signs of object permanence appear in infants?
Answer
  • Substage 1 (birth - 1 month old)
  • Substage 2 (1 - 4 months old)

Question
According to Piaget's substages, when will an infant lift the cloth to search for a hidden toy?
Answer
  • Before 6 - 7 months
  • 6 - 7 months
  • 8 - 9 months

Question 4

Question
For Piaget, infants tend to consistently make the A-not-B error because they do not have a full understanding of object permanence yet. Is this true or false?
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 5

Question
Identify one key criticism that can explain why infants consistently make the A-not-B error.
Answer
  • Ancillary deficits (e.g. attention, motor cortices, cognition)
  • Not yet developed full intelligence
  • Lack of self-confidence
  • Lack of resources

Question 6

Question
Invisible displacement is when objects are removed from the view of infants when they are not paying attention. This is often used to test their competency in object permanence and does not fully develop until substage 6 (18 months - 2 years old). Is this true or false?
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 7

Question
According to Piaget's substages, infants obtain full understanding of object permanence when infants can:
Answer
  • Understand invisible displacement
  • Can complete accurate A-B searching
  • Can represent stationary objects
  • At 12 months old
  • Understand both invisible displacement and mental representations

Question 8

Question
According to Kellman and Spelke (1983), object permanence research that uses occlusion only works when:
Answer
  • The object moves
  • The object remains still
  • The entire object is separated and moves in different directions
  • The entire object moves as one

Question 9

Question
The findings from Kellman and Spelke's (1983) experiment did little to challenge Piaget's substages. True or false?
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 10

Question
The Kellman and Spelke (1983) experiment challenge which theory?
Answer
  • Constructivism
  • Nativism
  • Behaviourism
  • All of them
  • None of them

Question 11

Question
Baillargeon (1985, 1987) found that object permanence exists in before infants are 6 months old. True or false?
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 12

Question
In Baillargeon's (1985, 1987) research, where was the focus of the infants predicated on?
Answer
  • The possible or control event (112 degrees)
  • The impossible event (180 degrees)
  • Neither, it was something else
  • She didn't talk about it
  • None of the above

Question 13

Question
Bogartz, Shinsky and Shilling (2000) countered Aguiar and Baillargeon's (1999) findings, by:
Answer
  • Questioning whether infants had object permanence, it was something else (e.g. novelty)
  • Questioning the ethics of the experiment
  • Questioning the ERPs of the infants when observing both the habituation and test phases
  • All of the above
  • They didn't actually question the research

Question 14

Question
Ruffman, Redman, and Slade (2005) investigated the anticipatory looking action done by infants when observing object permanence. It counterargued Bogartz, Shinsky and Shilling's (2000) understanding of previous research into object permanence at less than 6 months old. They argued that:
Answer
  • Infants must anticipate what will happen next based on their (limited) understanding, so it cannot be novelty
  • Infants have the motor cognitions pre-birth to understand the basics of object permanence
  • Infants are a lot more understanding of concepts at a younger age than a lot of research tends to argue
  • They didn't argue

Question 15

Question
Ahmed and Ruffman (1998) investigated why infants make A-not-B errors in search tasks, but show memory for hidden object locations in non-search tasks. According to the findings, where were the infants' attention placed the most?
Answer
  • On the impossible (area A) location for the object
  • On the possible (area B) location for the object

Question 16

Question
What could be drawn from Ahmed and Ruffman's (1998) findings on the A-not-B search/non-search experiment?
Answer
  • Infants show some memory understanding of previous object locations
  • Infants still do not show memory understanding of previous object locations
  • Infants cannot infer where an object has previously been
  • The results were inconclusive

Question 17

Question
Some believe that infants do have an understanding of object permanence, however, other variables are too overpowering - such as ancillary deficits (e.g. memory, inhibition, means-end reasoning) - for it to be effective. True or false?
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 18

Question
Some believe that infants don't have understanding of object permanence, only partial. Looking and reaching activate two separate understandings of knowledge (explicit and implicit). Is this true or false?
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 19

Question
According to Munakta (1998), the concept of object permanence and graded representation comes in stages and becomes stronger as infants grow older. Is this true or false?
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 20

Question
There is evidence to suggest that object permanence is innate. Is this true or false?
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 21

Question
There is evidence to suggest that Piaget's theories on object permanence start earlier than he thought. Is this true or false?
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 22

Question
According to the theoretical position that infants do not fully grasp object permanence, looking is:
Answer
  • An implicit area of knowledge
  • An explicit area of knowledge
  • Neither

Question 23

Question
For infants, what is mental representation?
Answer
  • When they can arrive at solutions to problems rather than through trial-and-error
  • When they can mentally represent the issues in front of them or away from the stimulus
  • When they can mentally represent their models (e.g. parents) away from the stimuli
  • All of the above
  • None of the above

Question 24

Question
For infants, what is deferred imitation?
Answer
  • When they expect others to imitate their actions
  • When they can remember and repeat the behaviours of others when not present
  • When they attempt to use their own behaviour and represent them in toys that they have
  • All of the above
  • None of the above

Question 25

  • Means-end action sequences
  • Invisible displacement
