Question 12 of 68

1

Explanation

Question 13 of 68

1

Bogartz, Shinsky and Shilling (2000) countered Aguiar and Baillargeon's (1999) findings, by:

Select one of the following:

  • Questioning whether infants had object permanence, it was something else (e.g. novelty)

  • Questioning the ethics of the experiment

  • Questioning the ERPs of the infants when observing both the habituation and test phases

  • All of the above

  • They didn't actually question the research

Explanation

Question 14 of 68

1

Ruffman, Redman, and Slade (2005) investigated the anticipatory looking action done by infants when observing object permanence.

It counterargued Bogartz, Shinsky and Shilling's (2000) understanding of previous research into object permanence at less than 6 months old.

They argued that:

Select one of the following:

  • Infants must anticipate what will happen next based on their (limited) understanding, so it cannot be novelty

  • Infants have the motor cognitions pre-birth to understand the basics of object permanence

  • Infants are a lot more understanding of concepts at a younger age than a lot of research tends to argue

  • They didn't argue

Explanation

Question 15 of 68

1

  • Infants still do not show memory understanding of previous object locations

  • Infants cannot infer where an object has previously been

  • The results were inconclusive

Explanation

Question 17 of 68
