Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Karen's ability to visually recognize objects she learned about via touch may initially be limited, but she will likely improve with time and practice. However, the other skills mentioned (distinguishing figure from ground, differentiating colors, and distinguishing faces from nonfaces) may take longer to develop, if at all, due to her lack of visual experience during development.
Learning Objectives
- Analyze how experience and critical phases affect the growth and modification of perceptive processes.
