At a train station, two travelers - Victor and Wendy - were waiting for their respective trains. Victor had a red suitcase, while Wendy had a blue one. They both placed their suitcases next to each other on a bench and started chatting. A janitor came by and accidentally switched the positions of their suitcases while cleaning the area. Neither Victor nor Wendy noticed this change. When their trains arrive, what do they think about the location of their suitcases? Respond very briefly.
Victor and Wendy are likely to believe that their suitcases are where they originally placed them because they did not notice the janitor switching their positions. People typically rely on their memory of where they last saw their belongings, and if they did not observe the switch, they would have no reason to think that their suitcases had been moved. Their attention was on their conversation, which distracted them from the activities of the janitor. As a result, when it's time to board their trains, they will probably each go to the spot where they believe they left their own suitcase, not realizing that the suitcases have been swapped.
