Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Infants at about 3 months old do not deliberately imitate sounds with linguistic meaning, but rather accidentally produce sounds that match the ones they hear, such as cooing or gurgling. Babbling of consonant-vowel combinations does not typically occur until around 6-8 months old. Therefore, option B is the most accurate answer.
