Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The A not B error occurs when a child continues to look for an object in a previously successful hiding location (A), rather than searching in a new location where the object was last hidden (B). In this scenario, baby Raja is still looking behind the pillow, which is the previous location (A), even though her brother hid the ball behind the potted plant (B).
