Object Permanence

Wednesday, April 10, 2002 at 09:20AM

Zack is learning object permanence. Just now he’s spent a couple of delightful minutes putting Shaun the Sheep on a cupboard shelf, closing the door. Waiting a while, opening the door, smiling, picking up Shaun, closing the door, then opening it again and repeating the process. Ad infinitum. I think he’s getting the point that Shaun is still there, even if the door is closed.

Now that this is done, he’s taking my black pen, putting it up on the desk out of his sight, but in his reach, waiting a while, then picking it up again and repeating the process.

Thought

Few persons care to study logic, because everybody conceives himself to be proficient enough in the art of reasoning already. But I observe that this satisfaction is limited to one’s own ratiocination, and does not extend to that of other men.
