Answer:

Babies that are three months old are capable of learning this, and they retain the knowledge for one month if it is not reinforced. By this point, an infant's vision is good enough that they can see the mobile above them, and not just their mother's face, which was the range of their vision at birth. Their cognitive processes are also developed enough to connect their action to the mobile's movement.
