Can infants detect voices in noisy environments? New research says yes

In noisy environments, organisms differentiate sounds they want to detect from interfering noise to improve their perception of target sounds. This process is widely conserved across species, including birds, crocodiles, ferrets and human adults. But how early in life does this a
