Occluding the trajectory of an object: effects on predicting containment with 9-, 12- and 16-month-olds.
Infants of 9-16-month-old repeatedly saw a block that was lowered into the opening of a container. It was found that the more time infants have to see the block relative to the container the easier they detect that the object relation specifies containment.
