How Do Infants Learn About the Physical World?
Abstract
Until recently, young infants were assumed to lack even the most fundamental of adults' beliefs about objects. This conclusion was based largely on analyses of young infants' performance in object manipulation tasks. For example, young infants were said to be unaware that an ob ject continues to exist when masked by another object because they con sistently failed tasks that required them to search for an object hidden beneath or behind another object.1 In time, however, researchers came to realize that young infants might fail tasks such as search tasks not because of limited physical knowledge, but because of difficul ties associated with the planning and execution of action sequences. This concern led investigators to seek al ternative methods for exploring young infants' physical knowledge, methods that did not depend on the manipulation of objects. Infants' well-documented ten

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
