Abstract

One of the basic components of animal perception and cognition is the understanding that there are invariant physical properties attached to objects in the world. The most commonly discussed aspect of object-concept is object permanence - the notion that objects are separate entities that continue to exist when out of sight of the observer (Piaget 1952; Krushinsky 1990). Pepperberg (1990) showed that different species of parrot are capable of reaching Stage 6 (Piaget 1952) but nothing is known about object permanence in young birds.
