Imagine that Janice's mother sang Daniel Powter's song "Bad Day" twice a day during her last six weeks of pregnancy. Three days after Janice was born, she was tested for her recognition of the song
Her pacifier was connected to a switch that would activate a recording of her mother's
rendition of "Bad Day" or her mother singing Beyonce's "Irreplaceable." Janice could chose the
song by adjusting her rate of sucking. In repeated trials, Janice always chose the familiar "Bad
Day." Given these results, as well as what you have learned about auditory perception, what can
you conclude?

B) Janice perceived something different about the two songs.
