What is moderately discrepant?

According to Maurer’s Principles, when infants are taking in optimal levels of energy they will pay attention to stimuli in this order.
What is familiar, then novel?

In DeLoache’s study on children’s searching behavior, 2.5 year old children succeeded in finding the toy when they used the the shrinking machine because this version of the task doesn’t require this understanding.
