Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fact that the infants looked longer at the photograph of the dog suggests that they were able to distinguish between the two new photos and categorize them as either a cat or a dog. Therefore, choice C, that infants this age could categorize, is the best answer. Choice A (liking dogs better than cats) and choice D (not sure what dogs were) are not supported by the study. Choice B (being bored with the cat photos) is not a valid conclusion based on the information provided.
