The emphasis of functionalism was squarely on

a. understanding private mental events. b. discovering the physiological basis of consciousness. c. the biological significance of behavior. d. solving the mysteries of the unconscious mind. e. the relationship between the mind and body.

Baillargeon and colleagues ( 1987; 1991 ) have conducted several classic studies in which young,

premobile infants are shown "impossible" events, such as the appearance of a car passing through a barrier, only to reappear on the other side. How do these researchers interpret the results of their work? A) That an infant's understanding of object permanence is not mastered until six months of age. B) The fact that the premobile infant shows "surprise" when the object reappears means that infants understand object permanence earlier than Piaget once thought. C) The neural mechanisms responsible for visual searching and reaching-grasping are the same. D) Infants will only show "surprise" over reappearance of the object if they are familiar with it.
