Based on the experiment, the infant saw a hand move a ball but not a bear. Therefore, the infant's expectation would be for the hand to move the ball again, as it was the last object that was associated with the hand's movement. The infant would not expect the hand to move the bear, as it was not previously associated with the hand's movement.
