Which sense is least active in a newborn baby?

AAuditory

BVisual

CTactile

DGustatory

Answer:

B. Visual

Read Explanation:

Vision is the least developed sense in a newborn baby:

  • Explanation

    The womb is dark, so there's little visual stimulation for the baby. This means that the neural pathways between the eye and brain need time to develop.

  • What it looks like

    Newborns can't see very far, usually only 8 to 16 inches away. They also have trouble keeping track of moving objects, and they can tell the difference between contrasts more than colors. 

Other senses in a newborn are more developed: 

  • Hearing

    Newborns have a keen sense of hearing, and can distinguish between similar sounds and familiar and unfamiliar voices. 

  • Taste

    Newborns can tell the difference between sweet, sour, bitter, and salty flavors, and they prefer sweet flavors. 

  • Smell

    Newborns have a strong sense of smell, and they can distinguish between their mother's scent and others. 

  • Touch

    Newborns are sensitive to touch.
