The healthy infant must accomplish both behavioral and biologic tasks to develop normally. Behavioral characteristics form the basis of the social capabilities of the infant. Newborns pass through a hierarchy of developmental challenges as they adapt to their environment and caregivers. This progression in behavior is the basis for the Brazelton Neonatal Behavioral Assessment (NBAS). Match the cluster of neonatal behaviors with the correct level on the NBAS scale.

-How the infant responds when aroused
A)Habituation
B)Orientation
C)Range of state
D)Autonomic stability
E)Regulation of state
