Since Shakespeare.

THEIR? Since when does a singular noun (child) take a plural pronoun? Or am I missing something?

“Research team found that request heard by the listener through his right ear was more frequently accepted as compared to request heard by the listeners through his left year.”

So wouldn’t a head-turning preference towards the right in infants generally expose the left ear towards these sounds (such as language directed at the infant) ?

Then again I don’t really know how infants or humans in general move their heads to locate sounds their our ears, so I might be wrong… anyone have any information?

I think the explanation is that they are turning (tilting) their heads to the right, while looking left
