The orienting reflex is our initial response to a new stimulus, which involves directing our attention towards it. Habituation is the phenomenon of becoming less responsive to a repeated stimulus over time. Therefore, option C accurately describes the two stages of our response to a repeated stimulus. Option A and B refer to Piaget's theory of cognitive development and do not apply to this scenario. Option D is incorrect because the initial response is the orienting reflex, not the orienting response.
