The method of this was Piaget hid a toy under a blanket while the child was watching, and studied whether the child searched for the hidden object. Looking for the toy was evidence of object permanence and Piaget believed that the child could only search for the toy if they had a mental representation of it. He found that children around 8 months old started looking for the toy and it is at this age that they have object permanence because they are able to from a mental representation of the object in their head. Many researchers had adopted the child’s looking as a measure of object permanence. For example, Bower had findings that proved that object permanence occurred in children well below 9 months old.
Unit 331 understand child and young person development. 1.1 Sequence and rate of development is all dependant on the individual child/young person, their physical, communication, intellectual and social development is crucial to understand in order to help them. 0 to 3 years old babies are new to this atmosphere they use small muscle movements such as reflexes, sucking, smiling and raising their hands.

Cognitive development is tied into physical and social interactions in the preschool years as children are constructing view of the world and actions in the preschool years as children are constructing a view of the world and discovering concepts. Play also enables children to sort through conflicts and deal with anxieties, fears, and disturbing feelings in an active, powerful way. Adults contribute to the development of children’s sense of initiative in several ways.

Parents often ask their pediatrician for advice about appropriate toys, books, and computer or video games, because they know that these tools may be important in their child’s development. Pediatricians can use questions about toys as opportunities to discuss the importance of a child’s environment at home and in child care. A young child’s growth and development can be supported and enhanced through play. Toys bring parents or caregivers and children together in play. Early brain development is enhanced through these relationships.1 These discussions are also an opportunity for the pediatrician to help parents understand the role of play in all areas of development, including cognitive, language, social, physical, and emotional

However, Donald Winnicott and Kendall Walton believe that play is a theory which applies itself to many different areas of life, beginning in the infant years and progressing through adolescence into adult hood. The philosopher Walton focuses on the concept of imagining and ‘the game world.’ To Walton the game world consists of any time you enter into a game or a world of make believe. His focus is primarily on children and infants and the way they explore and make sense of the world through the medium of play. ‘Play in children is a way of understanding and exploring the world.’ (Walton, K. 1990). He believes that if we want to understand art and performance we should look to children for guidance.
