School Bus Answer: The bus is heading to the left. How did I get this answer, you may ask? The door is always on the right side of the bus (at least here in the U.S.), so since there is no door the bus is facing to the left. A vast majority of children were able to answer this question without a problem. One might automatically assume that this is because they ride school buses more often. But that's not the case -- it's simply their creative, holistic and imaginative thinking at work. In fact, preschoolers (who don't usually ride buses to school) performed significantly better than children of other ages when answering this question. Ha!
