patrón ABAB


Explanation:
Por el contexto se observa que están describiendo a una niña y sus aptitudes para el campo de las matemáticas.

Creo que ABAB es simplemente un patrón alternado bi-carácter, si fuera con números que es un patrón binario. Sencillamente pareciera que se afirma que la niña no tiene la capacidad para continuar al patrón alternado AB de manera indefinida.
