Question

Madeline is seven months old. Her mother is eating a cookie and Madeline wants some. Her mother hides the cookie under a napkin, but Madeline is not fooled. She knows the cookie is still there. What does this exemplify? Select one: a. Implicit memory b. Stranger anxiety c. Reversibility d. Egocentrism e. Object permanence

Answer 1

The correct answer is:**e. Object permanence**### Explanation:Object permanence refers to the understanding that objects continue to exist even when they are not visible. This is a key developmental milestone in infants, typically achieved during the sensorimotor stage of cognitive development (as described by Jean Piaget). In this scenario, Madeline demonstrates object permanence because she knows the cookie still exists under the napkin, even though it is no longer in her direct view.
