Do Newborns prefer to look at simple one-dimensional patterns rather than complex ones?

Yes, newborns tend to prefer simple one-dimensional patterns over complex ones. Research indicates that infants are drawn to high-contrast, simpler designs, which are easier for their developing vision to process. As their visual acuity improves, they may begin to show interest in more complex patterns. This preference for simplicity is linked to their neurological development and the way they perceive and interpret visual stimuli.
