DeCasper and Spense (1986) found that infants preferred the prenatal story over another story. The study involved pregnant women reading a particular story twice a day for the last six weeks of their pregnancy. After birth, the infants were given a choice between the prenatal story and a different story, and they showed a preference for the prenatal story. This suggests that fetuses are capable of learning and remembering auditory stimuli before birth.
