Formal Operational
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -This developmental milestone is a primary goal of the sensorimotor stage. It’s your child’s ability to understand that objects and people continue to exist even when they can’t see them. It’s when your child starts to realize the things-and people, like you!

Detailed explanation-2: -When Does Object Permanence Occur? Research by Jean Piaget suggests object permanence develops when a baby is around eight months old. According to Piaget’s stages of development, object permanence is the main goal for the sensorimotor stage.

Detailed explanation-3: -Piaget said that this stage begins at birth and lasts for around the first two years of a child’s life. During this time, it is thought that children learn about their environment through movement, touch, and other early actions such as looking, listening, and sucking.

Detailed explanation-4: -In the sensorimotor stage, children repeatedly experiment with their senses through various methods in many different environments. This period is characterized by rapid cognitive growth. Another important hallmark of the sensorimotor stage is that children learn the concept of cause and effect.

Detailed explanation-5: -Object permanence means a child understands that things, and people, still exist even when they cannot be seen or heard. It is an important developmental milestone and a concept that was pioneered by child psychologist Jean Piaget.
