The understanding, which develops throughout the first year, that an object continues to exist even when you cannot see it or touch it. The understanding that the physical properties of objects, such as the number of items in a cluster or the amount of liquid in a glass, can remain the same even when their form or appearance changes. A system of beliefs about the way one"s own mind and the minds of others work, and of how individuals are affected by their beliefs and feelings. A method of child rearing in which the parent uses punishment and authority to correct the child"s misbehaviour.
