Question

Dr. Littman-Smith is conducting research in Kenya into the ways that mothers and their toddlers interact throughout the day. Given the purpose of her study, it is most likely that she is engaged in ________.

Answer 1

Naturalistic observation

Step-by-step explanation:

While doing a study if a subject is observed in their natural environment it is known as a naturalistic observation. The observer has no influence over the behavior of the subject.

A analog observation is an observation of a subject in an artificial environment.

Here, the doctor is studying the ways that mothers and their toddlers interact throughout the day. The doctor has no influence over the behavior of the toddler and the mother. Hence, she is observed in a naturalistic observation.
