Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A child who makes the "A-not-B error" with hidden/lost objects will search for a hidden object where she previously found it even after she saw it get moved to a new location. This means that the child is unable to update their representation of the object's location and therefore continues to search in the previously successful location (A) instead of the new location (B) where it was actually hidden.
