A Typical 10-month-old on Piaget's A-not-B task

The baby's mistake is not that he couldn't find it when she hid the lion in B. His mistake was in giving her the lion again :P

Aw bless how easily the child is getting distracted.

[bscutajar]

its interesting to know that once we were all that stupid

[ilmanti]

@bscutajar it's not a case of stupidity tbh. It's more a case of repetition and patterns. The human brain is wired to recognize and work with patterns. As children we can understand very simple patterns, and as we grow older (the majority) learn to understand more complex patterns. The child found the lion in the left hole twice... it makes sense to him to try and find it there again.

@ilmanti when we're young, all of us are stupid. i guess our definition of stupid varies. but i define it as lack of intelligence to some degree. when we're young all of us lack intelligence to some degree.

What the? Where- He's supposed to be in the left one! I know he is! How...You're a witch! What was Mr. Lion doing way over there!? No, you can't see him again!!

It's wierd to think that we all thought that was logical at one point.

Well this is also operant conditioning since he was rewarded with the lion the first few times

@Miikaika25 How?
