Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Newborns and infants have limited visual abilities at birth and require visual experiences during a critical period for their vision to develop normally. This critical period is typically the first few months of life. Therefore, choice A is incorrect as infants do have some perceptual abilities. Choice C is incorrect as infants do not see as well as adults, and their vision is still developing.
