In a shopping mall, there are four stores: a clothing store, an electronics store, a bookstore, and a toy store. Four friends - Aurora, Skylar, Audrey, and Nova - plan to meet at the mall for some shopping. Each friend wants to visit a different store first. Aurora heads to the clothing store, Skylar goes to the electronics store, Audrey visits the bookstore, and Nova checks out the toy store. While they're separated, a fire alarm goes off, causing everyone to evacuate the mall. The friends regroup outside but can't remember which entrance they used to enter the mall. What do they believe about the locations of the stores they visited? Provide a brief response.
Each of the friends believes that the store they visited is located in the mall based on their experience. Aurora associates the clothing store with her shopping intention, Skylar with the electronics, Audrey with the bookstore, and Nova with the toy store. Their individual experiences are distinct and unrelated to the confusion about the mall's entrance they used. The fire alarm and subsequent evacuation don't affect their memory of which store they intended to visit and did visit; it only disrupts their recollection of the entrance they used to get into the mall. They retain their knowledge about the location and purpose of the stores they individually visited.
