An infant, from the ages of newborn to 4 months can not cognitavely remember a specific action for a specific outcome. And infant from the ages of 5-10 months will anticipate and outcome from an action, but it must be repeated many, many times, even then they are still surprised at the outcome. Infants from 11-24 months are starting to build cognitive memory based solely on outcome. But if the outcome is not consistant, they will always anticipate a different outcome.

Yes, a behavior IS intentional if it involves the desire to reach a particular outcome. If no specific outcome is intended the outcome of an action is accidental.

Maybe. An infant may throw an object to see how it bounces but will not understand that this behavior annoys the parent.

I don't believe an infant can think in such a way.
