Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Object permanence is the Piagetian concept that describes a child's understanding that an object still exists even if it can no longer be seen. In the game of peek-a-boo, the child learns that just because the person playing the game has covered their face or hidden behind something, they still exist and will reappear. This demonstrates the child's understanding of object permanence.
