Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Infants who show an approach response are comfortable with new situations or people and tend to explore their environment. This is considered a positive response. On the other hand, infants who show a withdrawal response may exhibit fear or discomfort in new situations and may cling to their caregiver. "Easy" and "difficult" are typically used to describe an infant's temperament overall, rather than a specific response to stimuli.
