Piaget's theory proposes that children go through stages of cognitive development, including the stage of sensorimotor development where they learn about object permanence, the understanding that objects exist even when they are not visible. Derek's immediate search for the ball indicates that he has mastered the concept of object permanence, and therefore he would likely be in the later stages of the sensorimotor stage of development.
