Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that within hours of birth, newborns have a sense of size and shape. They can also differentiate between different shapes and can recognize the shape of their mother's face.

Answer: B
 Studies have found that within the first few days of life, infants prefer to look at simple shapes, such as circles and stripes, over more complex ones. This suggests that they have some basic sense of visual discrimination early on.

Answer: C
 It actually takes infants longer than two years to develop a full understanding of linear perspective and spatial orientation. However, they do start to develop these skills in their second year of life, and by age two they have a basic understanding of depth perception and object location.

Answer: D
 Infants as young as a few months old can differentiate between different emotional expressions in faces, including happy, sad, and angry. By six months, they start to recognize familiar faces and their emotional expressions. Therefore, children do not have to wait until they are two years old to differentiate emotional expressions of adults.
