object concept

An object concept refers to the understanding that objects have specific identities and stability over time, despite changes in appearance or the environment. For example, a child's recognition that a particular toy is still the same toy even if it’s moved, covered, or looked at from a different angle. This concept involves recognizing that objects exist independently, possess certain properties, and are separate from other objects. Developing a solid object concept is a crucial part of cognitive growth, enabling us to navigate and interpret our environment effectively by understanding the consistent presence and characteristics of the things around us.
