Description
Data from three experimental sources are reviewed in this chapter. They indicate: (a) that maternal and external voices travel to fetal head level, (b) the near term fetus perceives and discriminates speech signals, and (c) that he/she may learn some features of speech sounds to which he/she was exposed during the last trimester of the gestation and remember them post-natally.
