Behavioral Indicators of Object Permanence in Toddlers
Toddlers between 12 and 24 months old exhibit their mastery of object permanence through specific behaviors. Their enjoyment of games like hide-and-seek and their understanding that a person who leaves a room will return are direct results of this cognitive development. Additionally, they demonstrate this concept by pointing to pictures in books and searching in appropriate locations for objects upon request.
