Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the key challenge in studying the self in infancy: infants have limited ways to communicate their thoughts and feelings.
Recognize that while infants can express themselves emotionally, socially, and physically to some extent, they lack the ability to use language.
Identify that verbal expression involves using words and language to communicate, which infants have not yet developed.
Conclude that the difficulty arises because infants cannot verbally express themselves, making it hard for researchers to study their sense of self.
Therefore, the correct completion of the sentence is that infants cannot 'verbally' express themselves.
