CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The star of the stage: Object permanence 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.

Detailed explanation-3: -The main development during the sensorimotor stage is the understanding that objects exist and events occur in the world independently of one’s own actions (’the object concept’, or ‘object permanence’). Object permanence means knowing that an object still exists, even if it is hidden.

Detailed explanation-4: -The sensorimotor stage is the first of the four stages of Piaget’s theory of cognitive development. It is marked by a child’s knowledge that the outside world exists separately from themselves. Once the child has fully realized this, they will move on to the next stage within Piaget’s stages of development.

Detailed explanation-5: -At this time, children also develop the understanding that items still exist when out of sight, which is also known as ‘object permanence’. It is also during the sensorimotor stage that children develop an understanding of ‘cause and effect’, which is their actions have consequences.
