Mom Billie and Dad Bob

Mom Billie and dad Bob are discussing the abilities of their two-month-old son Thornton. Billie claims that Thornton can recognize both of his parents' voices. Bob says that Thornton cannot recognize either voice. If Thornton is a typical two-month-old, then who is correct?

Question:

Neither, as Thornton can likely recognize Billie's voice but not Bob's voice.

Answer:

Neither, as Thornton can likely recognize Billie's voice but not Bob's voice.

Explanation:

Hello! In small babies, it is more common for them to have a close relationship with their mother. Because of that bond, the child will more easily recognize his mother's voice since she is who he needs to grow up and who gives him the necessary content for his care and satisfaction of needs.
