2. Orientation.
3. Self-quieting.
4. Due to sleep-alert states.
2
Rationale:
1. Habituation is the newborn's ability to process and respond to visual and auditory stimulation.
2. Orientation is the newborn's ability to be alert to, follow, and fixate on complex visual stimuli that are appealing and attractive, such as a mother's eyes.
3. Self-quieting ability is the newborn's ability to quiet and comfort himself by sucking on his fist.
4. Sleep-alert state is not responsible for this behavior.
