Testing Infants’ Knowledge

Description: In this clever procedure, a baby watches as a box is pushed from left to right along a platform. The box is pushed until it reaches the end of the platform (a possible event) or until only a bit of it rests on the platform (an impossible event). Babies look longer at the impossible event, suggesting that it surprises them. Somehow they know that an object needs physical support and cannot just float on air (Baillargeon, 1994).
