Jena asks a mother to hold her infant in her lap. Next, she plays a tone (PA), over and over,

and then changes the tone (TA). Immediately after the tone, a box with toys beside the infant lights up and the baby turns her head to look at the toys. Jena repeats this procedure, and each time the tone changes, the baby turns her head to look at the toys after the box lights up. However, after a number of trials, Jena notes that the infant begins turning her head after the tone changes in anticipation of the box lighting up with the toys. This procedure is known as: A) High Amplitude Sucking paradigm. B) Observer-based Psychoacoustical procedure. C) Visual Reinforcement Audiometry. D) Cross-modal transfer paradigm.
