Infants remember stories that have been read to them, as evidenced by their preference to listen to stories that they've heard before. Infants have a rudimentary understanding of time, space, and number. Infants detect and extract regularities in patterned input. Adults believe that when a car moves around an oval track, both doors move at the same speed. Most adolescents solve conflict-weight and conflict-distance balance-scale problems incorrectly. Adults ignore the randomness of events if one event is more representative (e.g., they are more likely to say that a couple will have "girl, boy, boy, girl, boy, girl" rather than "girl, girl, girl, boy, boy, boy").
