The experimental task in which an infant interacts with an adult who first engages in normal social interaction and then suddenly becomes unresponsive is called the still-face interaction paradigm. Option B (violation-of-expectation task) is an experimental task where infants are shown a possible event and an impossible event to see whether they display surprise or novelty response. Option C (information processing approach) refers to an approach that seeks to understand how cognitive development occurs through examining how children physically, mentally, and emotionally process and respond to information in their environments.
