Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The method called high-amplitude sucking is commonly used to assess an infant's attention to sound. Infants are usually interested in novel sounds and will suck more vigorously when they hear a new sound. This increased sucking rate is measured using a pacifier attached to a device that records the number of sucks. The high-amplitude sucking method has been found to be a reliable and valid measure of infant attention. Option A, high-attitude sucking, and option B, disinterested sucking patterns, are not commonly used methods to assess infant attention to sound.
