Piaget believed that younger children (birth to about 2 years old) do not have a full understanding of object permanence, which is the ability to know that an object still exists even if it is no longer visible. Therefore, if a child does not search for a toy that is no longer visible, it may be because they do not understand that it still exists. Piaget's theory suggests that as children get older and develop cognitively, they will acquire this understanding.
