Habituation is the process by which babies become less responsive to a stimulus after repeated exposure to it. Object permanence refers to the understanding that objects continue to exist even when they are not visible. Researchers have used habituation to measure whether babies have developed object permanence by showing them a toy and then covering it with a blanket. If the baby continues to look for the toy, it suggests that they understand that the toy still exists even though they can't see it.
