Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Infants are born with underdeveloped visual systems and cannot see well at birth. It takes several months before their eyesight fully develops. In contrast, infants have a well-developed sense of hearing and can even recognize their mother's voice at birth. They also have a sense of taste and can differentiate between sweet, sour, bitter, and salty flavors. While smell is important for bonding and recognition of familiar scents, it is not considered as vital for survival as hearing, taste, and vision.
