Accepted Answer

The child's selection of the blue ball, despite being asked to find a ball that's not blue, suggests a failure to attend to the small grammatical elements, specifically the negation "not," which changes the meaning of the sentence. This is a common issue in early language development, where children might overlook small but crucial parts of speech.
