Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tabula rasa is the idea that individuals are born with a blank slate, meaning they have no innate knowledge or preconceived notions. Therefore, Tina's belief in this idea would suggest that she believes her child will be ready to learn new information based on sensory experiences since the child does not come with any innate knowledge. Option A is incorrect because while a fetus may be able to hear sounds from outside the womb, this does not necessarily equate to learning or retention of information. Option C is incorrect as infants are able to show some level of learning from birth, such as recognizing their mother's voice or scent, but it may take time for more complex learning to occur. Option D is incorrect as the ability to recognize sensory input from the womb is not necessarily indicative of learning, but rather sensory memory.
