You find that your infant takes great pleasure in the game of peek-a-boo. What Piagetian concept explains this observation?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Infants who enjoy peek-a-boo have likely not yet developed a full understanding of object permanence, which is the Piagetian concept that objects continue to exist even when they are out of sight. Peek-a-boo involves temporarily hiding an object (such as a person's face), and then revealing it again, which can be surprising and entertaining for infants who have not yet fully grasped object permanence.
