I don't believe healthy, social children can be born in this way within our lifetime. Babies start learning their mother tongue in the stomach while being out and about with their mother. There may also be hundreds of other things happening in the stomach that we don't know about, which are needed for healthy children
- seydor 2y agohopefully, the babies are not in the stomach :) There are already prototypes of artificial wombs imitating natural womb environment (which might potentially be in the mother's home) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ai8X3Tc-jN8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ai8X3Tc-jN8
- ceejayoz 2y agoPutting a speaker in the incubation room is probably the easiest tweak in all this.
- jollyllama 2y agoThe voice actors from that loop will be quite effective in subsequent advertisements!
- SketchySeaBeast 2y agoBaby's first words will be "This is Audible".
- ceejayoz 2y agoI'm fairly certain some baby's first words have already been "don't forget to like and subscribe!"
- alistairSH 2y agoSource? I’ve never heard of babies learning English or French or whatever in utero. Or do you mean they get used to their mother’s voice?
- nkrisc 2y agoAs I recall there’s some evidence they begin learning to recognize the phonemes commonly used in the mother’s language.

Don’t expect a baby jumping out and saying “a lovely day to all. What are your further plans for the rest of the evening Mother?” It is more like that structures in the baby’s brain get subtly influenced to better pay attention to certain sounds while paying less attention to others. This is the theory at least. There is some experimental evidence mentioned in the link, but i haven’t reviewed all of it.
- throwuxiytayq 2y agoYes, but is it necessary? Does it make any difference? This isn’t an interactive learning process anyway, just put an audiobook player next to your BabyVat9000 for an equivalent result.
- krisoft 2y agoI think we just don't know.
- pelagicAustral 2y agowell, I guess time will tell.
- alistairSH 2y agoThanks! That's more "learning" that I had realized. Neat stuff.
