Multiple choice question for Infancy And Childhood. Select an option, then review the explanation below.
Explanation
Infants, in their earliest months, are primarily attuned to the sounds of their native language and are not yet capable of distinguishing phonetic contrasts from foreign languages. Sensitivity to non-native sounds typically diminishes as they grow, particularly by adolescence. Therefore, the statement that infants can only discriminate sounds from their community's language is correct.
