Document Summary
Which of the following answer is/are the behavioral strategy/strategies that infants employ to modulate excitement and arousal: gaze aversion, putting hands in their mouths, throw their toy, both a&b. Explanation: infants employ different behavioral strategies to modulate excitement and arousal. Infants avert gaze when under- or overstimulated during face-to-face inter- actions. Gaze aversion has been shown to reduce autonomic arousal and negative affect. In addition, infants regulate affect by putting their hands in their mouths, by attending to what their hands are doing, or by seeking eye contact with their caregiver. On the other hand, the infants regulatory strategies, social cues, affect, and arousal are expressed as behavioral signals to the parent, which are likely to influence their behavior. Brain: increased alterness and less perception of pain. Circulatory system: faster heart rate, blood vessels constrict to bring more oxygen to muscles. Brain: impaired memory and increased risk of depression. Circulatory system: elevated blood pressure and higher risk of cardivascular disease.
