Three experiments are presented to explore object permanence abilities in 5- to 6-month-old infants from the perspective of Ecological Psychology. In the ecological hypothesis, having object permanence entails properly distinguishing ways of going out of sight that specify continuing existence. This hypothesis was examined by measuring infants' looking time in violation-of-expectation paradigms. Infants saw a toy leave sight by being occluded (Experiment 1), endarkened (Experiment 2), or faded away (Experiment 3). On alternating trials, the toy reappeared or failed to reappear. The duration of infants' looking in experimental conditions were compared with performance in a control condition in which the toy was not present initially..
