Ajani, Mei, and Dimitri are sitting in a living room, where a plate of cookies is on the table. Ajani takes a cookie and then leaves the room to answer a phone call. Meanwhile, Mei moves the plate from the table to the top of the bookshelf. Later, Dimitri, who has been reading a book and hasn't noticed Mei moving the cookies, gets up to use the restroom. In Ajani's absence, if someone asks Mei where Ajani will look for the cookies upon returning, what would Mei likely say? Provide a very brief response.
Mei would likely say that Ajani will look for the cookies on the table first. Since Mei is aware that Ajani did not witness her moving the cookies, she understands that from Ajani's perspective, the plate of cookies remains where it was before he left the room. Mei knows that according to Ajani's belief, no change has occurred in the cookie plate's location, so Ajani would naturally check the last place he saw it, which is the table. Mei's reasoning involves her ability to understand and predict Ajani's actions based on his knowledge, which has not been updated regarding the movement of the cookies. Dimitri's absence during this thought process does not have a direct impact on Mei's reasoning about Ajani's belief because the question only concerns Ajani's knowledge and where he expects to find the cookies.
