Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If Zack's response is typical, he will habituate to the presentation of the picture, which means that his heart rate and respiration rates will decrease as he becomes less interested in the picture. He may also stop looking at the picture altogether. This is a normal response observed in infants during habituation procedures. Therefore, option D is the best choice. Options A and B are incorrect, as they suggest that Zack will become distressed, which is not typical during habituation. Option C is also incorrect because typically, when infants habituate to a stimulus, their heart and respiration rates decrease rather than increase.
