Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fact that Davis is now interested in what other people are attending to suggests that he is developing social awareness and attention to the actions and cues of others, which is a typical developmental milestone for his age. Option A is incorrect because infants at this age are not yet capable of imagining. Option C is unlikely because infants at this age typically still have limited attentional capacity. Option D is also unlikely because research shows that infants have difficulty processing multiple stimuli at once.
