Infant Sensory Development Quiz

Adaptation to scents = Helps bond with caregivers Taste recognition = Affects food preferences Sound sensitivity = Enhances communication skills Vision improvement = Supports spatial awareness

Smell of caregivers = Promotes attachment Familiar foods = Encourages trust Parental voices = Facilitates recognition Home environment = Creates a sense of security

Caregiver's scent = Strengthens bond Family meals scent = Builds familiarity Home fragrance = Induces comfort Breast milk scent = Encourages feeding

<p>Scent adaptation = Fosters family connections Visual stimuli = Stimulates curiosity Auditory cues = Enhances learning Tactile experiences = Encourages exploration</p> Signup and view all the answers
