Babies Learn to Recognize Words in the Womb

[Big Bad Voodoo]

Be careful what you say around a pregnant woman. As a fetus grows inside a mother's belly, it can hear sounds from the outside world—and can understand them well enough to retain memories of them after birth, according to new research.

All these results are pretty pointless to tell the world. They can do their research, that's fine...and if they can use it for something else, fine. But it's completely useless and actually mean to the baby and the mother to say : "everything second of every day is now super important so you better rethink everything a 1000 times before you act and speak". That just creates neurotic parents and a neurotic anxiety driven baby.

Yes but perhaps it explains why baby is able to understand 600 words between 0-24 months. They capacity of brain is much larger then we think. For example in each country new born baby in next months recognize more then 50 words. But scientists prooved that baby is able to understand 600. Maybe this explain how.(?)
