Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Repeatedly sucking one's thumb is an example of a primary circular reaction, which involves simple, repetitive actions that the baby finds pleasurable and engages in without a specific goal in mind. This particular action provides comfort and helps soothe the baby. The other options (repeating throwing a spoon, shaking a rattle, and kicking a crib) involve interactions with objects in the environment and are more likely to be examples of secondary circular reactions.
