Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies have shown that infants prefer looking at human faces over other visual patterns, and this preference is present from birth. Option A is not true as infants have poor visual acuity at birth and can only see objects clearly at close distances. Option B is partially true as infants can detect facial contours but only at a very close distance. Option D is also partially true as infants can distinguish some colors at birth, but full color vision is not fully developed until several months later. Option E is not entirely true as newborns can fixate on faces but cannot yet scan or track features.
