If you are getting pregnant, be aware of what you are doing with your babies. There are researches proved there is fetus memories and memories will design their behaviors. Criminals or Geniuses in the present are all designed from their newborn memories!
In the past, it was thought the newborn infant did not possess a functioning memory but rather memory developed over the months and years after birth. Recently, studies have changed this thought as there are evidence show newborns have gain the learning paradigms, habituation, classical conditioning and imitation to possess a functioning memory.
In other words, babies are conscious and realize what is going on around them and they learn to memorize since they were born. Actually, there are now findings that the effect can cause to even the fetus. Thus, the caregiver should be aware of whatever happens on the unborn child and infant because the fetus experiences everything and it will influence in his/her mind since they were in the uterus.
In fact, there have been some studies of the conditioning of the fetus since 1930’s. An experiment made to examined individuals as fetuses and after birth. After 24 pairings of the stimuli, when the music was played to the fetus in the last weeks of pregnancy, individuals began moving and when played to the new-born, these babies stopped crying, opened their eyes and showed less clonic movements.
The book, Babies Remember Birth, publishing in 1988 is one of the information sources on the newborn memory and the far ranges of infant consciousness. Also in the book ‘The Mind of Your Newborn Baby’ it is explained that memories and mental abilities of babies can be found.
On the psychology aspect, psychologists have related the term “infantile amnesia” to explain the profound memory loss associated with the start of life. The infantile, according to the psychologists, seems to make the brain’s sensitivity to early experiences. It can be said that early experiences affect to adult social behaviors or other skills.
Quite some visionary experimental psychologists indicate that memory and learning systems are already functioning when fetus is viewed through ultrasound. Babies in the womb are signaling that they get familiar with rhymes repeated to them routinely over a four-week period. Besides, immediately after birth, babies exposed to music, news, or any native voices heard in utero. It is proved that they learn and remember the sounds from weeks and months in the past. Likewise, many recent researches show pain memorizing in babies. Neonatologists measured the stress reactions of forty-six fetuses during intrauterine blood transfusions and found that even the youngest fetuses mounted a strong hormonal response to the procedure.
These memories may be repressed for long periods of time before being stimulated by an event and then become to consciousness. The memories can be a part of a person’s behaviour designer. So be careful for the fetus and the newborn. Treat the infant carefully; your babies will have deep positive memories which help their habit to be fine.
