Hmm. I would think that generalizing from "mommy disappeared than came back", "teddy disappeared than came back" to "things that disappear tend to come back" and then deducing that "I don't see my blankie, but it is out there" very much counts as second level.
It's "second level" in the sense of being recursive causal learning. It's not "Second Level" in Churchland's sense, of taking multiple preexisting theories and finding a way to reduce one to another.
