    Challenges→Very young infants (4-5 months old) represent objects as persisting even when the objects are no longer in view, demonstrating object permanence.

    The impossible event (screen passing through occupied space) would only violate expectation if infants represent the hidden object as still existing.

A landmark study (Baillargeon et al. 1985) used the violation-of-expectancy paradigm to test the Piagetian claim that infants lack object permanence. Five-month-old infants were shown a screen that rotated 180 degrees up from the surface of a table and back again to its initial position.
