This morning I was looking for a glass tumbler, which I had just washed. I insisted in searching given that it hadnt been long since I placed the glass within my vicinity. It cant be as hard as the looking-for-lost-pencil exercise. While I was trying to figure what could have happened to it, the culprit was having its merry-go-round in a microwave. Why do we register some stuff and not some about the same thing?
In How the Mind works by Steven Pinker, there is a reference to an experiment where a toy duck is taken out of a bathtub and a polaroid shot is taken and the duck is put back in the tub. Normal children expect the photo to show the duck in the tub while the autistic dont.
