Not humans but kittens. Punch line: the group that was able to receive sensorimotor feedback entrained a much better sense of spatial perception than the group that didn't. Probably why babies are always making noises and touching shit during critical period plasticity is for sensory training/refinement (among other things)
Edit: I don't think there is a binary in terms of brain development pre/post birth. Of course if the baby sufficiently developms in womb it will start to get sensorimotor feedback from within the womb...
