Placing a Child at Sensorimotor
Captions available
The idea
A child who does not search for a fully hidden toy is placed at the sensorimotor stage, before object permanence.
In practice
A blanket is drawn over a rattle the infant was reaching for, and the reaching stops.
Where people slip
Looking-time methods detect earlier understanding than reaching tasks. The placement reflects the task used.
