Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dory's behavior of crying upon the arrival of visitors suggests that she is experiencing stranger anxiety, which is a common developmental milestone when infants and young children become fearful or wary of unfamiliar people. Separation anxiety refers to distress when separated from a caregiver, attachment to her father may or may not be present, and object permanence is the concept that objects still exist even when they are out of sight, which is not relevant to Dory's behavior.
