Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research studies have shown that infants as young as 3 months old tend to prefer looking at female faces over male faces, and they also have more difficulty distinguishing among male faces. This preference may be due to the fact that infants spend more time looking at and interacting with their primary caregiver, who is often female. Therefore, they become more familiar with female faces and are better able to discriminate among them.
