Object Constancy originates from the concept of Object Permanence — a cognitive skill we acquire at around 2 to 3 years old. It is the understanding that objects continue to exist even when they cannot be seen, touched, or sensed in some way.
At what stage does object permanence develop?
Research by Jean Piaget suggests object permanence develops when a baby is around eight months old. According to Piaget's stages of development, object permanence is the main goal for the sensorimotor stage.
At what age do children achieve object constancy?
Jean Piaget, a child psychologist and researcher who pioneered the concept of object permanence, suggested that this skill doesn't develop until a baby is about 8 months old. But it's now generally agreed that babies begin understanding object permanence earlier — somewhere between 4 and 7 months.
