Only at 9 months of age get replication (which is what piaget said in the first place) 6 month old brought into lab, assistant pressed big red button (fun things happened) and brought babies back the day after. The babies who"d never seen the button pressed, didn"t reach for it but babies who did see it, reached for the button (have memory of big red button doing something: memory. Piaget didn"t think babies could form memories.
