Object Disappearance and Error in Piaget's Stage IV Task
Butterworth, George
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 23, 3, 391-401, Jun 77
This study tested Piaget's explanation of infants' perseverative error in manual search by comparing searches when the object was (1) hidden, (2) covered but visible, and (3) uncovered. Errors occurred under all three conditions, with conflict at a maximum when the object was hidden. (Author/JMB)
