I was thinking about that, and the thing is people are often deceptive to children for their own good, as a way to handle them without upsetting them (arguably not ideal parenting but let it pass). So that, if you convince the child you really did drop it, you won't feel bad.
But if you are overtly mean - it's unmistakeable that you deliberately the toy back, then it's hard to kid yourself that the baby didn't realize. Now did the baby realize? That's the whole thing we're trying to determine! I'm just saying that the actresses' model of what the baby will understand and won't will affect how they feel about it.
This of course all depends on the actresses having a particular model of the baby's ability to model them.
