All of the statements are true.

A) Recent research has shown that even young infants, as young as three months old, have the ability to detect and process information about impossible events, showing that they have a basic understanding of the laws of physics.

B) Research has also shown that by eight months of age, babies have the ability to remember where objects are and where they should be for at least one minute, indicating an increasing ability to form and store memories.

C) Research has shown that children who grow up in cultures where particular skills or knowledge are valued, such as in villages where pottery is made, can develop that skill or knowledge earlier than Piaget predicted. This specific example demonstrates that children who grow up in pottery-making cultures can conserve clay before Piaget's predicted age of seven years.
