Baby Lucy is 8-months-old. She picks up a toy in her crib and accidentally hits her crib with the toy, making an interesting noise. She begins to drag the toy back and forth against the sides of the crib’s railing, which produces another different and interesting sound. This prompts Lucy to continue repeating the action over and over again. Piaget would say that this is an example of

A	Substage 2:First habits and primary circular reaction
B	Substage 4:coordination of secondary circular reaction
C	Substage 6:beginning of thought
D	Substage 3:secondary circular reaction

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -At around 10 months old, your baby will most likely have a full understanding of the concept of object permanence. For example, if you hide a toy underneath a blanket, he’ll know to pick up the blanket and look for the toy.

Detailed explanation-2: -The swimming reflex is responsible for the baby displaying a ‘swimming’ action. Water is a great medium for babies to have freedom of movement as they do not have to fight gravity in order to move. They can use the muscles in their arms, legs, back and torso in ways that they are unable to on land.

Detailed explanation-3: -Piaget and other researchers also used the “A not B” experiment to check for object permanence. He would show a baby a toy, then hide it under a box (A). After the baby found the toy under Box A a few times, he would hide the toy instead under a second box (B), making sure the baby could easily reach both boxes.

Detailed explanation-4: -What Can You Do to Help Your Baby Develop Object Permanence? Playing games like peekaboo is a fun way to help your baby practice this cognitive skill. Activities, books, and games that involve things that are hidden that then appear are good choices to help develop object permanence.
