Existence as a Psychological Problem: Object Permanence in Adults and Preschool Children.

Subbotskii, E. V.

International Journal of Behavioral Development, v14 n1 p67-82 Mar 1991

Examines perceptions of adults compared with preschool children in assuming object permanence or discontinuity of existence when an object is removed from their immediate perceptual field. Results showed that a belief in the possibility of the discontinuity of material objects is not unique to the minds of preschool children but can also be observed in adults. (SH)
