I believe this is true. This sounds silly, but my wife could not have children so when her friends were pregnant, she would talk to the child in the womb and after it was born, it would turn in her direction when she talked.
How could a clump of cells remember music?
So Finland is just catching up? This was known back in the ‘80’s when I was having my first few, and we were playing music to babies in the NICU.
Impossible. Everyone knows that babies are never in the womb. The womb just holds a mass of cells until a baby magically pops out.
Zell Miller pushed this in GA almost 20 years ago.
I read to my babies while they were floating around in mom. Can’t do any harm, course you have to wait till they grow ears.
Why, I remember the Charleston being played! /S
She passed her ham radio exam at age 8, back when they still required code.
I have no idea if there's a connection (he also promised her her own kitten if she passed. Strong incentive. She got the cat. We still have the cat, who is now elderly but feisty.)
Wonder if this mother sang to her baby in womb?

Amazing reaction
Why in utero education isn’t made into a national policy is beyond me. Given the state of the world, it is OBVIOUS that, as a species, we don’t have the brains to handle the complexities of the modern era. ANY method or program designed to increase human intelligence should be pursued at a gallop so that we can generate solid data on the matter. Human genius is precious beyond belief. Every effort should be made to increase its quantity on the planet.
