Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Frankie's smiling is in response to a social stimulus (his father's singing) and is therefore considered social smiling. Reflexive smiling is typically seen in newborns and is not in response to a social stimulus. Basic smiling is not a recognized type of smiling. Internal-based smiling is not a recognized term in relation to infant development.
