Do 18-month-olds hold different expectations for an agent who is ignorant as opposed to mistaken about an object's location? In the ignorance experiment of Scott and Baillargeon [4], the infants received the same familiarization trials as in the false-belief experiment (Figure 3). The test trials were also similar to those in the false-belief experiment, except that the two covers were both opaque, so that the agent had no basis for determining which cover hid which penguin and was therefore ignorant about the location of the 2-piece penguin.
