That is very interesting. It makes sense to me, because my baby would sleep very lightly during the first few months. I guess she was too busy learning to fall into a deeper sleep.

I think adults can also learn while they sleep

This is seriously ridiculous, how is this not obvious for crying out loud. At every point of a humans life they are either storing data, combining data, or calculating data. This is not lost, just the more it is used the stronger the neural connections become, and the less it is used the weaker they become. There’s a fairly simple probability calculation for this. Now if you scientists want to tell me that I have no proof and i’m talking nonsense so be it, but its bloody obvious to me.

adults can learn while they sleep. for example, dreaming of the answer to a problem or dilemma.

tooner babies clearly are not dogs you have committed a fallacy. Though I do agree in the Pavlovian argument simply put i wouldn’t be surprised to see this activity in most life forms, and the interesting thing would be to see the difference between automated responses like this through different periods in different life forms. What would this enable us to discover? Reactive times in different cognitive states couple this with the musical aspect and there might be something interesting. Babies I recall spend a great majority of their time in a different state than other age brackets, however there is musical supplements that can vastly adjust cognitive state especially when the user knows how to control it sometimes I think that I can actually increase my signal strength on my phone enough to get it work through my brain, there is a sure fire way to get this to work for anyone who wants to simply place your phone to your chin, don’t believe try it next time. Warning probably causes cancer probably as in it does over long periods of time in fact there is so many broadcasted signals in the airwaves that I am sure it is affecting us somehow, next study transimmissions babies exposed to them babies protected in a no reception area?

ERm… anybody try the exact same s’periment with adults?

Sounds simply Pavlovian to me… so babies and dogs, they’re special?

Goodkat, the whole study took 30 minutes… I know they wont remember this…
so even if they are 2 days old… thats .01% of their whole life…

Great, now these kids will grow up scrunching their eyes every time they hear that tone.
