BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Consider the scenario: a 3-day-old infant named Yolanda is exposed to language cues from parents who speak French. This setup is designed to test newborns' speech preferences.
Option 1: 'preferred to listen to French than to other languages.' This aligns with common findings in infant research: newborns show a preference for their native language or the language spoken by their mother, likely due to exposure and auditory familiarity from early life.
Option 2: 'preferred to listen to music than to language.' While infants may respond to music, the study described is specifically about speech preferences, and there is no basis here for a general preference for music over language when the language input is present, especially a native language.
Option 3: 'preferred to listen to any language except French.' This contradicts established findings that newborns are especially attuned to their native language and familiar voices, not to languages they have no exposure to.
Option 4: 'preferred to listen to men's voices.' The question notes that Yolanda's parents speak French, and there is no indication that gender of the voice influences preference in this context; infants typically show preference for their mother's voice and native language, not a general bias toward male voices.
In summary, the most accurate statement given typical newborn language preference research is that Yolanda would prefer listening to French compared with other languages, due to auditory familiarity with her native language from birth.
