The healthy infant must accomplish both behavioral and biologic tasks to develop normally. Behavioral characteristics form the basis of the social capabilities of the infant.
Newborns pass through a hierarchy of developmental challenges as they adapt to their environment and caregivers. This progression in behavior is the basis for the Brazelton Neonatal Behavioral Assessment (NBAS). Please match the cluster of neonatal behavior with the correct level on the NBAS scale.
a. Habituation d. Autonomic stability
b. Orientation e. Regulation of state

44. Ability to respond to discrete stimuli while asleep
45. Measure of general arousability
46. How the infant responds when aroused
47. Ability to attend to visual and auditory stimuli while alert
