The method described here is called the visual preference method, which involves presenting infants with two different stimuli and recording the amount of time they spend looking at each one. This allows researchers to determine whether infants can distinguish between the stimuli and which one they prefer to look at. The other choices (stimulus generalization, orienting response, and high-amplitude sucking) are all different methods used to study infant behavior and cognition.
