How would you expect a newborn to react to the barking of a nearby dog that is located off to one side?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Newborns have the ability to turn their head toward a sound source, so it is likely that the baby would turn toward the barking dog. A is incorrect because newborns are not yet able to selectively ignore stimuli. C is unlikely because there is no reason for the baby to feel positive or negative emotions toward the sound at this age. D is unlikely because newborns have functioning hearing, and E is unlikely because the baby can still localize sounds to some degree.
