Source? 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.
