The preferential-looking technique is commonly used to assess visual preferences in infants. It involves presenting two visual stimuli side-by-side and measuring which one the infant looks at for a longer period of time. In this case, the toymaker can present the infant with toys of different colours and see which one the infant looks at for a longer period of time, indicating a preference.
