Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Perceptual narrowing refers to the process by which infants become increasingly specialized in recognizing and processing stimuli that are relevant to their immediate environment and experiences, while losing the ability to recognize and process stimuli that are not relevant to their environments. This can be observed in various domains, including sound discrimination, where infants become better at discriminating between sounds that are common in their native language and worse at discriminating between sounds that are rare in their native language.
