Object permanence is the idea that objects continue to exist even when they are out of sight. In the scenario given, Damian does not look for the rattle when it is covered, which suggests that he has not yet developed the concept of object permanence. Accommodation refers to adjusting existing cognitive schemas to accommodate new information, habituation refers to becoming used to a repeated or familiar stimulus, and causality refers to understanding cause-and-effect relationships, none of which are the issue in the given scenario.
