How can we determine that the fetus can hear what is occurring in the external world?
What will be an ideal response?
Several lines of research suggest that the fetus can hear. In one clever study, mothers
read a Dr. Seuss story to their fetuses beginning in the eighth month after conception.
When the infants were two days old, they were given a special pacifier that when
suckled upon would activate a recording device. When the infant suckled at a
particular rate, the device would activate the mother's voice and the infant would hear
her reading the same Dr. Seuss story that they were exposed to in utero. The infants
quickly adopted this particular sucking speed, which clearly showed a preference for,
and memory of, the sound of their mother's voice heard in utero.
