The A-not-B error is a type of logic demonstrated by infants where they continue to search for an object in the place (A) where it was last found, even after observing it being hidden in a different location (B). If the child gives up searching for the object after not finding it in the place (A) where it was last seen, it is still a demonstration of the A-not-B error. Representational logic, object permanence error, and trial-and-error logic are not relevant in this scenario.
