Last stupid question before bed...Does a one day old child, remember his life inside his mother's womb?

Question

I know it's practically impossible to question a one day old baby what he remembers from his embryo life.
But do you think it's theoretically possible?

I'm in Singapore

Joshua? What do you mean?

Answer 1

Babies typically start to remember symbols once they come out of the womb. They remember voices, smells, visual images etc. These memories are symbols and they don't become meaningful until about 6 months of age.

Answer 2

This is more a philosophical debate then a biological one.

It has been proven that the physical ears start functioning as soon as they form. Does that mean they hear? I do not think so.

During the first few months of a young baby's life they are like a sponge for information absorb a huge amount of information, but as to how much is processed and or retained as a memory is again highly debatable.

The developing brain of an embryo is not the same as an animal, however. The human brain is hardwired to work towards having memory and a mind. The base memories that are absorbed (even in the womb) are a necessary step to get to later understanding and remembering. Many experiments point towards the benefits of exposing the unborn fetus to classical music and audio tapes (or just reading, and singing to it).

I have a friend who claims to have a memory from around age 3 of seeing a Jack in the Box sign. He remembers the shape of the sign and the clown head, but where the words should have been there are just shapes with no meaning.

I know some people that claim to have been able to remember back to the womb through regressive therapy. Some even claim to be able to remember back into previous lives.
Who knows?

Answer 3

No, I don't think so. A newborn's brain isn't fully functioning yet. Memory requires perception and perception requires expectations to evaluate sensory inputs. None of that even begins to happen until after the baby is born. I imagine the environment inside the womb is pretty uniform, with few distinguishing characteristics, although sound is known to reach the fetus. I find it easier to imagine that a newborn remembers its own symbolic dreams than that it can make any sense of the intrauterine environment.

Answer 4

2 rationalization for me: a million) at 198 pounds i'm particular no woman may well be waiting to hold this type of length in her womb. 2) My mom (God permit her relax in Peace) is deceased and purely one month in the past; for that reason Q`s like this and the single approximately Cooper aggravate me rather. My mom became into an extremely ethical woman of severe regard in her city. She taught college, had stages from college and lived for God (follower Christ) or whichever time era you opt to apply. a great woman and a GR8 mom.

Answer 5

Possible. Once born, the bombardment of new information and memory would probably erase those memories of non-eventful days in the womb. I think babies can learn thus memorize while in the mother's womb.

Answer 6

Well, I know that a newborn can recognize it's mother's voice, as well as people who are around the mother a lot. They like to be wrapped snugly, because they spent so much time in tight quarters. So, my answer is kind of. =0)

Answer 7

I used to sing a lullaby too my son when he was in my womb. "Hush Little Baby"

3 days after I had him, I would try to get him too stop crying...

I sang lullaby after lullaby, Not including "Hush Little Baby"

after the 3rd day, I sang that song, and he calmed down instantly.

He still loves that song only, and he's 9 months old.


so I would say Yes, they do

Answer 8
