Babies can remember sounds they heard in the womb more than a year after birth, as a study by Leicester University has found. The research demonstrated that one-year-old babies recognize music they were exposed to up to three months before birth. Previously, experts thought that babies could only remember anything for a month or two. The study was called The Child Of Our Time, and involved a small group of mothers playing a single piece of music to their babies for the last three months before birth. The music was chosen by the mother and included classical, pop and reggae.
More than a year later, 11 of the babies were tested and showed a preference for the selected music compared with very similar pieces of music they had not heard before. The baby's preference was demonstrated by the amount of time spent looking towards the source of the music. A control group of children tested with the same pieces of music showed no preference for a particular piece.
