  1. Some babies are easier to deal with than others.
  2. We are lucky to have a baby with a calm disposition.
  3. Our baby spends more time in the active alert phase.

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Easier or more difficult to deal with is a judgment, not part of an assessment.
Rationale 2: Describing an infant as having a calm disposition is a judgment, not part of an assessment.
Rationale 3: The active alert phase of the sleep-awake cycle is characterized by motor activity.
Rationale 4: The Brazelton Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale looks at habituation, orientation to animate or inanimate visual or auditory stimuli, motor activity, self-quieting, cuddliness or social behaviors, and variations of each of these categories.
