You observe a 6-month-old infant during your visit to the home of your breastfeeding client. The infant is in the crib, moving about and actively looking at and grasping age-appropriate toys. What kind of play are you observing?
  1. Skill play.
  2. Sensorimotor play.
  3. Onlooker play.
  4. Associative play.
Explanation
Answer: B - The kind of play that you are observing is called sensorimotor play. Sensorimotor play is the predominant form of play among infants, although it can continue through later years. This type of play expends energy and it also allows the infant to explore their world using their senses such as vision, touch, and hearing.
