Generalizing from similar research reported in the text, you would expect that the babies would look:

• A) longer at the pacifier that they had sucked on
• B) longer at the pacifier that was "new"
• C) equally long at both pacifiers
• D) at neither pacifier, since sucking on a "weird" pacifier was unpleasant for them
