a

Summary Introduction

To identify:

The given statement, “Most neurons are present at birth” is true or false.

Introduction:

The brains of babies have some specific neural circuits that help in the identification of biological motion, inanimate motion of objects, and identification of faces and their movements. Newborn babies usually born with developed perceptual skills such as smelling, tasting, hearing, and responding to touch. Infants have the ability to recognize the sound and they can react to it. They gain experience from people and objects and at the age of six months, they reach an adult level of auditory function.

b

Summary Introduction

To identify:

The given statement, “Most organ systems are fully formed by 2 months after conception” is true or false.

c

Summary Introduction

To identify:

The given statement, “Over 95 percent of infants display secure attachment styles” is true or false.

Introduction:

Nurturance and care are required for infants from adults for their survival. Infants have strong, intimate, and emotional bond with their caregivers and that helps in proving better social life in the future. The innate tendency of the attachment or bonds with others serves protection and raises the chances of survival.

d

Summary Introduction

To identify:

The given statement, “Most people experience infantile amnesia, the inability to remember events before the age of 3 or 4” is true or false.

The brains of babies have some specific neural circuits that help in the identification of biological motion, inanimate motion of objects, and identification of faces and their movements. Newborn babies usually born with developed perceptual skills such as smelling, tasting, hearing, and responding to touch. Infants have the ability to recognize the sound and they can react to it. They gain experience from people and objects and at the age of six months, they reach an adult level of auditory function.

e

Summary Introduction

To identify:

The given statement, “Due to infantile amnesia, infants cannot learn” is true or false.

Introduction:

The brains of babies have some specific neural circuits that help in the identification of biological motion, inanimate motion of objects, and identification of faces and their movements. Newborn babies usually born with developed perceptual skills such as smelling, tasting, hearing, and responding to touch.
