Answered by Examlex AI Copilot

At birth, infants have the ability to perceive motion in their environment. This includes the ability to track moving objects with their eyes, as well as the ability to detect and respond to changes in motion. Infants are also able to perceive the direction and speed of motion, allowing them to anticipate and react to moving stimuli. Additionally, research has shown that newborns are sensitive to biological motion, such as the movement of a human or animal, indicating that they have an innate ability to perceive and process complex forms of motion. Overall, the ability to perceive and respond to motion is present from birth and plays a crucial role in the development of sensory and motor skills in infants.
