What will be an ideal response?
The ideal answer should include:

2. Physiological: Behaviorally inhibited infants show higher heart rates, cortisol levels, and blood pressure and more dilated pupils than other infants when introduced to novel situations or people.
3. Neural: Adolescents with a developmental history of behavioral inhibition showed higher amygdala reactivity to a novel stimulus than those without a history of behavioral inhibition.
