Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies have shown that infants will suck more in response to novel stimuli, indicating that nonnutritive sucking can be a good measure of infant memory and attention. Choice A is incorrect because nonnutritive sucking has been shown to be a reliable measure of memory in infants. Choice C is incorrect because the level of sucking response is typically higher when presented with a novel stimulus. Choice D is incorrect because conjugate reinforcement has been used to measure implicit memory responses in infants through nonnutritive sucking.
