In research on infant perception, a common research strategy presents an infant
with some stimulus until he stops responding to it. Then a new stimulus that differs
from the first in some specific respect (e. g., color) is presented to see if the infant
now responds. This strategy involves the use of what basic process?
a. preference
b. scanning
c. constancy
d. dishabituation
e. conditioning

D. Dishabituation.

Explanation: Dishabituation could simply be called a reawakening process whereby stimulus or signals which has gone into extinct in an infant's memory. The process of stopping or ensuring that an infant desist from responding to a certain stimulus or behavior is Called the HABITUATION process. The processes of reawakening or causing the stimulus to evoke after the infant has stopped responding to the stimulus is called the DISHABITUATION process which may involve tweaking a certain part or appearance of earlier habituated stimulus before dishabituation.
