Document Summary
For the last few decades there is a lot happening in the womb. Your listening in on what you learn out there (meaning the fetus is listening). You have a preference to listen to mother"s voice. They will suck on the nipple that activates the mother"s voice. They remember the content of what they heard when they were in the womb. When the mother reads the story, they can remember the words of the story. Just reading around a story repeatedly the infants will remember. The way they test it is by sucking. It assumes that they are attentive when they suck the nipple slowly, taking it slowly. If they are sucking fast then they are not paying attention. The infants will come out of that womb, they cry in the accent of their mother"s tongue. They"ll come out crying like german or french people. There are unique signatures that can be linked to the style of crying.
