At this age the child is in the final sensorimotor stage.Children will now search for an object in several potential places,even though they saw only the original hiding place.Children have a more developed sense of objective permanence.They will search for objects even if they have not seen them hidden.Putting an object in a container but being unable to take it out indicates tertiary circular reactions.An embryonic sense of time exists; although toddlers may behave appropriately to time-oriented phrases,their sense of timing is exaggerated.
