Document Summary
Lecture 6 focuses on chapter 8 (perception and knowledge of world) + chapter 9 (memory) Knowledge of objects: infants" growing abilities allow them to perceive and conceptualize the properties of objects. One aspect of conceptualizing objects is the understanding that objects have a permanent existence: requires mental representation. Debate occurs over when the mental representation ability forms. Piaget only have full permanence by the end of year 2 (begin to search hidden objects bw 8-12 months, but have a not b error occur during that time, and error due to invisible displacement bw 12-18 months). Others say it may be present in some form earlier when tested in diff ways. Violation of expectation and op: based on the premise that infants will look longer at unexpected events. Method shows evidence of some form of object permanence in infants younger than 8 months: present with expected vs unexpected possibilities, infant will look longer at unexpected.
