Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Young babies have been found to have some memory skills, including the ability to remember events for days or even weeks. However, they may not have fully developed memories for more complex concepts such as object permanence or personal identity. Therefore, option D is the most accurate statement. Option A is partially true as babies may remember where their toys have been left, but this memory is not necessarily consistent. Option B is not completely accurate, as research suggests that babies as young as 4 months may be able to recognize their own names, but not necessarily remember them. Option C is incorrect, as young babies do have some memory skills beyond just the scent of their mothers.
