Quitter

Genevieve gives up way too easily. Whenever anything isn't in plain sight it is gone for good. This isn't a case of object persistence. She knows the object exists she just doesn't know where it is or care to look for it.

Here is a standard conversation:

G: "baby doll?"
D: "I don't know where your doll is. Have you looked for it?"
G: "doll gone. gone. doll gone. find it!!"
D: "Did you look in your playpen?"
G plaintively pleading: "No! Gone! Gone!"
D: "Let's look in your playpen. Here it is!"
G: "baby doll"
D: "Where is the baby's bottle?"
G: "gone gone"

here we go again!
