Answer 1

part of the first stage (sensorimotor). Nicholas has developed object permanence.

Answer 2

The sixth (and last) substage: mental combination.

Step-by-step explanation:

Baby Nicholas has developed what Piaget called object permanence. This happens in the last substage of the sensorimotor stage, which is when the infant is between 18 and 24 moths old. It’s the stage of mental combination. During this stage the child starts developing symbolic thought and can make mental representation of objects. It is also during this period that babies have object permanence. This means that they can understand that an object exists even if they cannot see it.
