Question

To examine whether infants can perceive a difference between two stimuli, a researcher first presents one stimulus to the infant until she becomes disinterested. The researcher then presents the other stimulus to the infant and records whether the infant becomes interested in the new stimulus. This method is called the _________________ technique.

Answer 1

This method is called the ERP technique

Step-by-step explanation:

The ERP study, examined the effect of attention in infants and the ERP changes occurring during the recognition of briefly presented visual stimuli. The study, consisted in presenting a stimulus that was familiar to the infant and it was presented frequently. Then, a second stimulus was presented that was familiar as well, but it was presented unfrequently. The results, showed attention facilities the brain responded during the infant recognition of the memory and showed that developmental changes in the recognition memory are closely related to the changes in attention.
