A typo, maybe?

Fear is experienced by babies much, much younger than this.

From birth, they experience great distress being separated from their
mother - this is the equivalent of fear, though it may not be cognitively
processed.

Babies who are abused learn very quickly - certainly by a few weeks - how
to avoid abuse. They 'freeze' rather than draw attention to themselves.
This is fear.
