The scenario above exemplifies object permanence. It is likely that Madeline has exhibit this as she believes the cookie is still there even if she does not know where it is. An object permanence explains that a person would believe that a certain thing or object exist without having the assurance of its existence. It could be seen above as Madeline thinks that the cookie is still there even if it is hidden and not seen from her sight.
