Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that newborns have a preference for their mother's voice and can distinguish it from the voice of another woman. This is possible due to the familiarity of the mother's voice, which the baby has been exposed to while in the womb. Newborns can also distinguish differences in light intensity and shape, as well as their mother's face from the face of another woman. However, they can also differentiate between sound quality and intensity.
