Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The string tied to the infant's foot suggests that the researchers were studying the infant's ability to learn through physical movements. The mobile hanging above their cribs is a common toy used to test the long-term memory of infants through association and recognition. Therefore, choice A) Mobile is the best option. The other choices, B) doll, C) bell, and D) teddy bear, do not involve the same type of physical association and recognition as the mobile.
