QUESTION TYPE: Most Helps to Explain
ANALYSIS: Infants look longer at faces than at ovals or scrambled faces.
We humans don’t have as many instinctive behaviors as other animals, but we do have a few. Facial recognition could be one of them. It would certainly explain the infants’ behavior.
___________
- CORRECT. This does it. Babies are born able to recognize faces, which explains why they look longer.
- This doesn’t explain why infants stare longer at faces but not ovals.
- They stare at faces longer “hours after birth,” before they have had a chance to learn to associate faces with food.
- This doesn’t explain why they seem to prefer faces. They are shown ovals soon after birth, before they’ve had a chance to look much at faces or ovals.
- As in C, this is a behavior babies learn, eventually. It doesn’t explain their behavior “hours after birth.”
