Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Preferential looking techniques involve providing infants with two different stimuli and measuring their eye movements to determine which one they prefer to look at. This technique allows researchers to infer what infants understand and expect about the world, even before they can physically respond or communicate. Pin pricks and neuroimaging techniques are not commonly used to study infant cognition, and asking parents questions may not always provide accurate or reliable information.
