I believe that the best answer to the question: Regarding infant sensory abilities, which of the following statements is FALSE, would be, C: Newborns can recognize a scrambled picture of their mother´s face just as well.

Explanation:

The development of skills, abilities and capacities in children, especially during infancy, is a pretty complex, and unique one. What is known up to this point for sure regarding babies, since birth till they turn about 2 years, is that: they have difficulties in vision, as they cannot see certain features, colors, and after a certain range. They recognize their caregivers, especially their mother, first and foremost through touch and smell, as well as through audition. These characteristics develop as the child´s brain, and body, start also to develop from the moment they are born and they leave babyhood to enter early childhood. But in general, newborns, and up until about 6 to 7 months of age CANNOT recognize faces after a certain distance has been reached from them, and definitely not a scrambled one, even of their mothers. They are more likely to recognize the mother first by her smell, her touch and her voice, than her face. This recognition comes as the baby´s visual capacity enhances. However, they are able to distinguish tastes and that is why they tend to prefer their mother´s milk; because it is sweet to the taste, and they start recognizing racial features, especially skin color, at about six months of age. This is why the answer is C.
