Explanation / Answer

19.A

Baillargeon, Spelke & Wasserman (1985) introduced the method of violation of expectation to test infants' object permanence by presenting a change in the event. The longer time spent in observing the new event is attributed to an unexpected outcome of that event and therefore it testifies to the development of object permanence in late infancy.
