Based on established findings in early perceptual development, which screen will the infant most likely look at for a longer duration, and why?

Newborns demonstrate an early capacity for multimodal language processing by showing a preference for faces whose movements are synchronized with audible speech. This suggests an innate ability to link the visual and auditory components of language.

Infant Preference for Audiovisual Synchrony in Language

An experiment is conducted where a newborn infant is seated in front of two video screens. Screen A displays a person speaking, with the audio perfectly matching the lip movements. Screen B displays the same person speaking the same words, but the audio is slightly delayed, causing a mismatch between the sound and the lip movements. An eye-tracker measures how long the infant looks at each screen. Which outcome would you predict, and what is the most accurate interpretation of that outcome?
