While assessing the development of a 9-month-old infant, the nurse asks the mother if the child actively looks for toys when they are placed out of sight. Which developmental task is the nurse assessing this infant for?
1. Object permanence
2. Centration
3. Transductive reasoning
4. Conservation
Correct Answer: 1
Rationale: A child who has developed object permanence has the ability to understand that even though something is out of sight, it still exists. In centration, a child focuses only on a particular aspect of a situation. Transductive reasoning happens when a child connects two events in a cause-effect relationship because they have occurred at the same time. Conservation describes when a child knows that matter is not changed when its form is altered.
