Reasoning about a Hidden Object after a Delay: Evidence for Robust Representations in 5-Month-Old Infants.
Luo, Yuyan; Baillargeon, Renee; Brueckner, Laura; Munakata, Yuko
Cognition, v88 n3 pB23-B32 Jul 2003
This study examined two alternative interpretations of violation-of-expectation findings that young infants can represent hidden objects. Findings indicated that 5-month-olds succeeded in reasoning about the interaction of a visible and a hidden object even though the 2 objects were never simultaneously visible and a 3- or 4-minute delay preceded the test trials. Results provide evidence for robust representations of hidden objects in young infants. (Author/KB)
