This refers the ability of the child to understand that an object still exists even though the object can no longer be seen or heard. For example, if a toy is on the floor and a blanket is place over the toy so the child is unable to see it the child will assume the object no longer exists or when playing peek-a-boo the child will be amused as they believe that the person keeps disappearing and reappearing. When either object (toy or person) is out of sight the child will not look for them behind the persons hands or under the blanket as they don’t understand that the object is still there it’s just hidden.
