The habituation paradigm is a commonly used technique to investigate whether infants can discriminate between different stimuli, including faces. Infants are first shown a stimulus repeatedly until they become habituated or bored to it. Then a new stimulus is presented to see if the infant shows heightened interest or dishabituation, indicating that they can discriminate between the two stimuli. The other techniques listed (centration technique, doll technique, and sociometric paradigm) are not typically used to investigate discrimination between pictures based on gender, age, or race.
