Question

Which of the following is an example of an A-not-B error? O Devon's mother taught him to say "Dad" and he now uses the term to refer to any male he comes across irrespective of age or familiarity. Daniel always looks below the bed when he cannot find his toy because that was the first place where his father had hidden his toy Dora had a fall while climbing a chair and complained to her mother that the chair is "bad" and began hitting it. O Dennis cannot comprehend that a ball made out of his clay modeling set can also be used to make a box or a tower.

Explanation / Answer

ANSWER : The example of A-not-B error is Daniel always looks below the bed when he cannot find his toy because that was the first place where his father had hidden his toy.

A-not-B error is a perseveration error that demonstrates the lack of schema of object permanence. In the first example Devon will not call all the males as dad because child can recognize their parents and he identifies others as stranges. The example three and four donot show relation with any object permanence.
