At around eight months of age, children perform simple actions to make things happen, notice the relationships between events, and notice the effects of others on the immediate environment.
Can infants understand cause and effect?
At around 9 months, babies are getting better at understanding cause and effect: “I push the button to make the music play.” They are also starting to understand that the things they can't see still exist. This means a child will look for the ball that rolled behind the couch and call for you when you leave the room.
