Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Newborn infants are not completely colorblind, but they have limited color perception. Research indicates that newborns can distinguish between some colors such as red and blue, but they cannot differentiate between colors that are close together on the spectrum such as green and yellow. Therefore, choice A, "can perceive a few colors," is the best answer.
