Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Infants have been found to have a preference for the sound of the language that their mother speaks. This preference has been observed as early as the first few days of life and suggests that they are able to recognize and differentiate between different languages and accent patterns. These findings support the idea that infants are able to begin processing and learning language from a very young age.
