Object permanence for a child is when you leave the room and they figure out you haven't dropped off the face of the earth because they can't see you.
"The sensorimotor stage in a child is from birth to approximately two years. During this stage, a child has relatively little competence in representing the environment using images, language, or symbols. An infant has no awareness of objects or people that are not immediately present at a given moment. Piaget called this a lack of object permanence. Object permanence is the awareness that objects and people continue to exist even if they are out of sight. In infants, when a person hides, the infant has no knowledge that they are just out of sight. According to Piaget, this person or object that has disappeared is gone forever to the infant. "
Hi there. This stage is refered to as the sensorimotor stage ( 0 to 2 years ) Object permanence refers to infants realising that if an object such as a toy is removed from sight that it still exists and generally they will find it. If an infant has not yet mastered object permanence a toy infront of them for example can be covered over and they beleive the toy no longer exists. hope this is of some help to you.
