Eight-and-a-Half-Month-Old Infants' Reasoning about Containment Events.
Aguiar, Andrea; Baillargeon, Renee
Child Development, v69 n3 p636-53 Jun 1998
Three experiments examined whether 8.5-month-olds considered an object's width and compressibility when determining whether it could be inserted into a container. Results suggested that infants realized that large balls could fit into large but not small containers, whereas small balls could fit into both containers. Infants understood that large compressible balls could be inserted into either container. (Author/KB)
