Development of the Ability to Use Recall to Guide Action, as Indicated by Infants' Performance on AB.

Diamond, Adele

Child Development, v56 n4 p868-83 Aug 1985

Twenty-five infants were tested every two weeks on the AB Object Permanence Task, from the time they first reached for a hidden object until they were 12 months old. Results indicate that the AB provides an index of the ability to carry out an intention based on stored information despite a conflicting habitual tendency. (Author/RH)
