Infant Understanding of Containment: An Affordance Perceived or a Relationship Conceived?
Caron, Albert J.; And Others
Developmental Psychology, v24 n5 p620-27 Sep 1988
Results of two experiments involving 11-, 14-, 17-, or 20-month-old infants indicated that 14-month and older infants did not differentiate the combination of properties that affords containment and that understanding of the causal basis of that function did not begin to emerge until about 17 months.
