Object permanence is the understanding that objects have a continued existence even when they are not visible or physically present. Piaget believed that developing object permanence is a critical step in the child's cognitive development because it represents their ability to form mental representations or images of objects in their minds, and to use these mental images to understand the world around them. Therefore, it is an important stage in the child's capacity to use mental imagery and other symbolic systems, as stated in the question. Egocentric thinking refers to the child's inability to take another person's perspective, accommodation and assimilation are processes through which new information is incorporated into existing cognitive structures.
