Where's the Ball? Two- and Three-Year-Olds Reason about Unseen Events.
Berthier, N. E.; DeBlois, S.; Poirier, C. R.; Novak, M. A.; Clifton, R. K.
Developmental Psychology, v36 n3 p394-401 May 2000
Examined 2-, 2.5-, and 3-year-olds' reasoning while searching for a ball that had been rolled behind an occluder. Found only 3-year-olds were able to reliably select the correct door; all children could retrieve a toy hidden in the same apparatus if it was hidden from the front by opening a door; and younger children used a variety of strategies.
