This experiment is based on the visual preference paradigm where the infant's gaze duration determines which stimulus they prefer. Research suggests that infants have a natural affinity for novelty and tend to gaze longer at unfamiliar objects. In this case, the infant is likely to look for longer at the picture of the bear paw as it is a novel and unfamiliar object compared to the picture of his own hand which is a familiar and common object to him. Therefore, the best choice is B where the infant will look at the picture of the bear paw longer than the picture of his hand.
