At a regular routine checkup, Hilda’s doctor tells her that her eight-month-old daughter has now gained object permanence. What is her doctor referring to?

Object permanence is the understanding that objects continue to exist even when they cannot be perceived.

The doctor is referring to the ability to realize things are still there even if not seen.
