If the infant is able to relearn a task in less time than it took for the initial learning, it suggests that some memory of the earlier learning is present. This is an indication that the infant has retained some information from the initial learning experience and is able to re-apply it to the current situation. This is known as relearning, and it is often faster than initial learning because the neural pathways are already established. Therefore, option C is correct. Options A, B and D are unlikely to be correct because they do not explain the phenomenon of faster relearning.
