Shelley is convinced that her 2-week-old baby can smell the difference between her regular perfume and a different perfume that she just started wearing. Her husband thinks she has a vivid imagination because there is no way such a young baby could detect the difference. What does research evidence suggest?
A) Shelley's husband is right. Very young infants have no sense of smell.
B) Shelley's husband is right. Very young infants can smell very strong smells, but they can't make fine discriminations such as between two different types of perfume.
C) Shelley is right. Very young infants can identify the smell of their mother's perfume.
D) Because of a lack of relevant research, there is no way of knowing who's right.
