Thelen et al. criticize “spatial coding” approaches to the A-not-B error. However, newer thinking about spatial coding provides moreprecise analytic categories and recognizes that different spatial coding systems normally coexist. Theorizing about spatial coding is largely compatible with dynamic-systems theory, augmenting it with an analysis of what one means when discussing “location at A” (or B).
