Object Permanence in babies... FUNNY AND INFORMATIVE!!!

  • Object Permanence is the understanding that objects continue to exist even they cannot be seen. It's something that babies only learn at about 18 months. As perfectly illustrated by our kid, who seems to think the cucumber simply ceases to exist when covered with a coconut shell. It's as funny and it is informative... Enjoy!

      Let the baby develop in their own time! Learning is not just environmental, the baby just wasn't at the stage to learn object permanence, and your shouting and breaking things was negative reinforcement. So chill.
      Maybe thats something *you* need to learn.

      Super late but I used to do something similar when I was little. A lot of Mexican restaurants use two tortillas when making tacos to make sure they hold together. For some reason, my child mind came up with the ingenious idea to carefully peel the tortillas apart and split the ingredients to double my tacos. Even as a young adult, I still sometimes catch myself doing it as a weird habit, despite knowing better.

      You can do it by putting it under sheet of cloth or paper that looks similar to the surface of the table and the baby will instantly lose interest in wherever it went. The baby's interest just focuses on the texture and shape of the coconut shell as soon as the cucumber ceases to exist.

    This is honestly so cool to see. Obviously we don't rmeember this time in our lives when we didn't have object permanence yet. That said, it's so crazy to watch how at that age we have absolutely no concept or understanding that the object is still there lol. As adults it seems so obvious. It is interesting to wonder if this is a latent ability we naturally develop overtime. Or if it's a skill we have to learn

    There are few problems here. First you wrote that babies learn object permanence at 18 months. NO, you can see it at 8 months, and in some experiments even before. Also, after putting the coconut on the table you distract the baby with your load voices and hand waving, so even if he had some thought about the lost cucumber, you distract it from that. And last, it is very difficult for the baby to pick up that coconut, so we don't know whether he is trying to do it or not.

    Children can actually learn object permanence much earlier than 18 months. It seems clear to me that this child knew where the cucumbers were, unfortunately, he did not have the fine motor skills to lift the coconut up! My 10 month old daughter knew about object permanence at 8 months old. Every child develops differently, BUT again, object permanence happens before 18 months old for most babies.

    Not sure how old the child is, but your "pulling the cucumber from behind the ear" stunt and generally your fast movement right in front of the babies face might have confused him(?). Also he(?) seems to be distracted by the feel of the hairy coconut and the general fuzz around in the kitchen. If you had used a more familiar feeling cup to hide the cucumber, done the whole thing a bit slower and a little further away (moving the cup into his reach after hiding) so he can clearly see what you're doing and be in a more quiet environment, your results might have been different. Basic object permanence should be developed in infants as young as 8 months (not 18). More difficult tasks (a-not-b error) take a while longer.
