Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Vision is the least functional sense at birth. The eyes of newborns are not fully developed, and they can only see objects that are within 8 to 14 inches from their face. Their ability to distinguish colors and shapes improves gradually over the first few months of life. In contrast, touch, taste, and smell are functional from birth and play critical roles in newborns' survival and development.
