Determining if habituation is reversed if the object changes is the best method for assessing whether newborns have noticed a visual object. This approach involves observing whether a previously habituated response (decreased attention to a familiar stimulus) increases again when a new stimulus is presented. If the infant shows renewed interest or attention to the changed object, it indicates that they have noticed the object and can differentiate it from the previous one. This method effectively measures perception and discrimination in newborns.
