Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The research method mentioned in the scenario involves presenting a visual stimulus to an infant and measuring changes in their brain waves, which is a classic description of evoked potential. Therefore, the correct answer is (C) evoked potential. (A) evoked preference typically involves presenting two stimuli and measuring which one the infant looks at longer. (B) habituation involves repeatedly presenting a stimulus until the infant loses interest, and then measuring their response to a new stimulus. (D) enriched perception is not a common research method in infant cognition research.
