Habituation refers to a decrease in response to a repeated or prolonged stimulus. In this scenario, the one-year-old has become habituated to confinement in the crib for long periods. This means that the child may no longer cry to be picked up because they have become accustomed to the negative stimulus. However, this does not mean that they have learned self-discipline or that they will continue to cry day after day. Therefore, choice B is the best answer. Choice E is incorrect because it includes choices that are not necessarily true in this scenario.
