Document Summary
Causal reasoning: allows us to make connections between events: ex. understanding that light switch must be engaged to turn on a light, and that these two e(cid:448)e(cid:374)ts do(cid:374)"t si(cid:373)pl(cid:455) (cid:272)o-vary. Launching: will small objects stop moving after making contact with larger/heavier object. Object permanence; does an object disappear when they can"t see it. Solidity support (will and item dropped on a table go through the table or land on top?) The gravity bias : tendency to search in a straight-line path from the release point of an object. K hler believed that chimpanzees could find solutions to problems that were. Jane goodall"s discovery of termite fishing in chimpanzees in the 1960"s reignited interest in the possibility of tool use animals. They modify twigs, leaves, cardboard, and feathers to use as tools to obtain food from crevices and other places they cannot reach with their beak.
