When do infants learn most of their language and communication skills?

during the first three months
between the ages of one and two
during the toddler years
between 3 and 4 years

The correct answer is: during the toddler years

Infants begin to learn most of their language and communication skills during the toddler years, typically between the ages of one and two. While some language skills can develop in the first three months, this period is mostly focused on basic communication through crying, cooing, and babbling. Between 3 and 4 years old, children are still developing and improving their language skills, but the majority of their language development occurs during the toddler years. Therefore, these options are not as accurate as the correct answer of C, which specifies the toddler years as the most crucial time for language and communication skill development.
