First seen Jul 13, 2026 · Last updated Jul 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study investigates whether playing children's songs to pregnant women daily can enhance their baby's language and cognitive development up to age 2. Pregnant participants are assigned to high-dose music, low-dose music, or educational videos. After birth, infants' brain responses to speech and language skills are measured. The goal is to see if prenatal music exposure can improve early language outcomes.
