Question

Frankie DeLorenzo · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : B, Explanation :  The experiment conducted by Carolyn Rovee-Collier shows that infants have the ability to remember perceptual-motor information. This is evidenced by the fact that the baby kicked and tried to make the mobile move even when the ribbon was not tied to its ankle, indicating that it remembered the previous experience of kicking and making the mobile move. Therefore, option B is the correct answer. Option A is incorrect as it contradicts the experiment's findings, while option C is not supported by the experiment. Option D is a vague statement and does not fully explain the experiment's results.
