Object Permanence Results (part 2)
I tried the object permanence experiment again this week but I decided to modify the procedure by using a small shoe box to cover the treats. I thought it would be easier for the goats to focus on a smaller object rather than a much larger recycling bin or myself.
As usual, the goats were high energy and very excited for snacks. Betsy, however, seemed focus, ready, and willing to participate. I let her watch me cover the apple snacks with the box. She sniffed, obviously very curious about the box, but did loose some interest and decided to walk away. I repeated the procedure but this time, Betsy understood that a delicious apple was underneath the box just waiting to be noticed. She successfully overturned the box and ate her winning prize/apple. Good Job Betsy!
