Development of means–end behavior in young infants: Pulling a support to retrieve a distant object
Three longitudinal studies are reported in which 6-8-month-old infants were tested on means-end problems involving pulling a cloth to retrieve a toy. Production of intentional means-end behavior increased between 6 and 7 months, but although 6-month-olds' behavior was unaffected by the presence or absence of a toy on the cloth, 7-month-olds more often produced means-end sequences when a toy could be retrieved. Infants' performance remained the sa…

Stages in the development of intentional search by young infants
Piaget maintained that intentional search is preceded by a phase of transitional search in which infants remove covers but do not show intention to find the hidden object. If there is such a transitional phase, reports of search by infants as young as 5 mo are difficult to evaluate because the type of search has not been identified. Two experiments examined changes in search behavior in 38 infants at age 6, 7, and 8 mo. Exp I revealed that the ma…
