Why do infants have difficulty searching for objects hidden by occluders before 8 months when other evidence has indicated they are sensitive to hidden objects months earlier? One explanation suggests that infants know hidden objects exist but lack the means-end skill to retrieve them from occluders. However, this experiment explores the unique contribution of object visibility by presenting 6- and 10-month-old infants with visible and hidden objects that could be retrieved with little to no means-end skill. Results indicate that 6-month-old infants searched significantly less for hidden objects than visible objects, although both conditions were equated for means-end demands. In contrast, there were no differences among 10-month-old infants. These results highlight the effect of object visibility on search and indicate that a means-end deficit cannot be the only cause of search problems. Explanations for the effect of object visibility are discussed. |
