Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
An individual's culture may dictate the amount of sensory stimulation considered normal. Ethnicity, religion, income, and subgroup norms within a culture all influence the amount of sensory stimulation sought by an individual and considered normal.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Different types of sensory stimulation are needed for growth as sensory receptors, organs, and the nervous system mature. Appropriate stimulation includes soothing, holding, rocking and changes of position (tactile and kinesthetic sensations), singing and being talked to (auditory sensations), and changing patterns of light and shade, such as through the use of mobiles and bright objects (visual sensations).
