The A-Not-B Error: Results from a Logistic Meta-Analysis.
Marcovitch, Stuart; Zelazo, Philip David
Child Development, v70 n6 p1297-1313 Nov-Dec 1999
Meta-analysis of the A-not-B error was conducted, using logistic regression, on studies conducted before September 1997. Results replicated earlier findings, with exception that the number of trials at the A location was a significant predictor, and the number of locations was a significant predictor of the proportion of infants who searched perseveratively, but not the proportion who searched correctly.
