A developmental psychologist is showing a four-month-old infant a series of drawings. Each drawing shows a series of heavy black

dots arranged in the shape of a square. After seeing a series of such pictures, the infant looks for shorter and shorter periods of time until she is barely glancing at each new version of the black dots in a square. Suddenly the researcher presents a new drawing of heavy black dots in the shape of a circle, and the baby shows renewed interest by gazing for a longer period of time. What is illustrated by this research project?

Answer:

The baby became habituated to the pattern of the dots in the shape of a square

Explanation:

Habituation is the learning process by which an organism's initial response to a stimulus decreases after the organism repeatedly is exposed to the stimulus.

Here, the baby was interested to the pattern of the dots in the shape of a square but after the baby was repeatedly subjected to it the baby became habituated to them and lost interest. Later a different pattern got the baby interested again.

Hence, the baby became habituated to the pattern of the dots in the shape of a square.
