Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies have shown that the foetus at the end of the sixth month responds preferentially to the sound of its mother's voice. The familiarity and emotional connection with the mother's voice may provide a sense of comfort and security to the foetus. Mozart's music and rhythmic tapping may also have a calming effect, but there is no evidence to suggest a preference for these over the mother's voice. A cat's meow is unlikely to be a familiar or comforting sound to the foetus.
