15. At what age to children begin to pass false belief tasks
16. Correct order of object representation
- Invisible displacement > A not B error > No search > full object permanence
- No search > invisible displacement > A not B error > full object permanence

20. What is a disadvantage of nativist experiments
- They are too difficult for infants abilities
- They are not a measure of true innateness
- There are no disadvantages
- They are not rigorous enough
