While assessing the development of a nine-month-old infant, the nurse asks the mother if the child actively looks for toys when they are placed out of sight. The nurse is trying to determine whether the infant has developed:
1. Transductive reasoning
2. Conservation
3. Centration
4. Object permanence
4
Rationale 1: Transductive reasoning is when a child connects two events in a cause-effect relationship because the events occurred at the same time.
Rationale 2: Conservation is when a child knows that matter is not changed when its form is altered.
Rationale 3: Centration is when a child focuses on only one particular aspect of a situation.
Rationale 4: A child who has developed object permanence has the ability to understand that even though something is out of sight, it still exists.
