In short: This lecture examines the behavioral methods used to probe infant cognition. It explores how babies develop an understanding of object permanence, physical behaviors, and the social intentions of others.
The session investigates how researchers study cognitive development in infants through behavioral observation. It focuses on two primary areas: how infants grasp the physical properties of objects and how they perceive agents capable of goal-directed activity and social interaction.
