Cross-model transference refers to the ability to recognize a familiar object in different sensory modalities. In this case, the child is able to recognize the rubber duck in a visual form despite having touched it while blindfolded. Therefore, if the child selects the duck picture, it suggests that they are capable of cross-modal transference. The other options, such as polymodal attention, habituation, or novelty avoidance, do not accurately capture the cognitive processes involved in this scenario.
