Unborn babies played music in the womb 'remember the melodies when they are born'

 

Babies can remember melodies they hear in the womb even after they are born, according to new research.

Scientists played music to infants three weeks before they were born and then tested them one month after birth.

They discovered the babies' heart rates slowed by about 12 beats a minute when the familiar melody was heard. An unfamiliar song had much less of an effect.
