Emanuel is babysitting his 8-month old brother and 4-month old niece. The kids had been playing with blocks for a while when it was time to stop and pick up before having a snack. Emanuel gathers up the toy blocks, places them back in the toy chest, and closes the lid. Both children wanted to continue playing and were upset as Emanuel was taking the blocks away. However, Emanuel noticed his brother and niece behaved differently in response to the blocks being put into the toy chest. His brother crawled to the toy chest and pointed to the lid, but his niece reached out for other toys near her and quickly forgot the blocks.

Answer:

The kids' different responses most likely reflect differences in:

B) Object permanence

Explanation:

Even though they are only four months apart in age, Emmanuel's brother and niece already show differences in object permanence. Object permanence is a child's ability to understand that an object continues to exist, even though it can no longer be seen. To the 4-month-old niece, once the blocks were put away, she no longer thought of them. It's as if they don't exist anymore. To the 8-month-old brother, the blocks still exist. He understands they have been placed inside a box by Emanuel. Thus, the brother has already developed object permanence, while the niece hasn't.
