The A-not-B error is a mistake commonly made by infants in the coordination of secondary circular reactions substage. It involves the infant searching for a hidden object in a location (A) where they previously found it, despite having observed it being moved to a different location (B). This suggests that they have not yet fully developed their object permanence and are still relying on their motor habits rather than their understanding of where the object actually is. Types I and II errors are statistical concepts not applicable to Piaget's theory, and equilibration refers to the overall process of maintaining cognitive balance and not specific to this particular stage.
