Ramy has displayed "The A-not-B error".

Children of 10 months or more youthful ordinarily make the perseveration mistake, which means they look under box "A" despite the fact that they saw the person move the toy under box "B", and box "B" is similarly as simple to reach. This shows an absence of, or fragmented, schema of object permanence.
