CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Object permanence is the understanding that objects continue to exist even when they cannot be sensed. This is a fundamental concept studied in the field of developmental psychology, the subfield of psychology that addresses the development of young children’s social and mental capacities.

Detailed explanation-2: -Object permanence involves understanding that items and people still exist even when you can’t see or hear them. This concept was discovered by child psychologist Jean Piaget and is an important milestone in a baby’s brain development.

Detailed explanation-3: -Object permanence means knowing that an object still exists, even if it is hidden. It requires the ability to form a mental representation (i.e. a schema) of the object. For example, if you place a toy under a blanket, the child who has achieved object permanence knows it is there and can actively seek it.

Detailed explanation-4: -This refers to difficulty focusing and paying attention. Inattention can cause problems such as frequently losing everyday items. In the past, some people have used the term “object permanence” to refer to this “out of sight, out of mind” phenomenon which affects some people with ADHD.

Detailed explanation-5: -Object permanence is divided into six major stages according to its gradual development in humans (Piaget, 1954). At stage 4, human infants are able to mentally represent and retrieve an object hidden in a single hiding place.
