Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Newborns have a strong sense of smell and can detect a wide range of odours, including unpleasant ones. When exposed to an unpleasant odour, newborns may show aversive behaviours such as grimacing, cringing or turning away. They may also display physiological responses such as changes in breathing and heart rate. However, they are not yet capable of identifying the source of the smell or seeking out their primary caregiver based on odour cues.
