When a baby is born, a baby does not possess the ability to perceive the world in three dimensions. This develops early in infancy. The newborn baby is lacking:

height perception
depth perception
dimension perception
pictorial depth
monocular cue

The correct answer is B. Depth perception

Step-by-step explanation:

Depth perception refers to the ability to understand the world and all objects in it have three dimensions; this implies to recognize how long, high, and deep an object is. In the case of babies, especially newborns, they lack depth perception because they do not understand objects have three dimensions, and due to this, they do not have a perception of different heigh on a surface which makes them not recognize if they can fall. This occurs because newborn brains and eyes need to develop. Thus, the type of perception newborn baby is lacking is "depth perception" that begins to be developed when babies are around 6 months old.
