Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Infants' reactions to their mothers' "still faces" have been found to indicate that they expect their mothers to respond appropriately to their social overtures. When the mother does not respond or has a blank facial expression, infants become visibly upset and try to restore the interaction. This suggests that infants have a basic expectation for responsive and reciprocal social interaction with their caregivers. Option B is incorrect because embarrassment is not a known response in infants. Option C is partially correct as infants' reactions indicate both expectations and attempts to restore interaction, but embarrassment is not a factor. Option D is incorrect because there is evidence to suggest that infants do react to their mothers' still faces.
