Sound Babies

16th February, 2009 - Posted by admin - No Comments

Based on embryological literature and studies on fetal hearing it is reasonable to consider that the prenate ‘s womb experience encompasses all his mother’s words, tone, prosody, singing, yelling, crying, moaning, etc. The prenate has an organismic experience of the maternal sounds wherein his molecules, fluids, tissues, bones, and neural pathways are affected by his mother’s voice as it generates in her vocal chords and reverberates in her bones, organs, muscles, tissue, fluids, and nervous system.

The long, strong, vibrating tones likely feel like a massage for the baby. PPN literature establishes that babies have direct-experience through their viscera – cellularly and somatically. As discussed earlier, sound is not a cognitive process that requires cerebral memory processes, therefore prenates can experience sound preverbally and reference the sound stimuli or affect later in their developmental continuum.
