Infants, Age 12 to 24 Months, Were Shown a Series

Infants, age 12 to 24 months, were shown a series of pictures of various kinds of food, then given a choice of looking at either a previously unseen item from the food category (e.g., an apple) or an item from a new category (e.g., a chair) . What were the findings of this study?

A) The infants looked longer at the chair than the apple, suggesting they had learned a general category of food and found a new category more interesting.
B) The infants looked longer at the apple than the chair, suggesting they had learned a general category of food and found it comforting to look at a familiar category.
C) The older infants looked longer at the chair, suggesting they had learned a general category of food, whereas the younger infants looked longer at the apple, suggesting they had not noticed a relationship among the food items presented previously.
D) The infants spent an equal amount of time looking at the chair and the apple, suggesting they had not noticed a relationship among the food items presented previously.
