Human Fetal Heart Rate Dishabituation between Thirty and Thirty-Two Weeks Gestation.
Sandman, Curt A.; Wadhwa, Pathik; Hetrick, William; Porto, Manuel; Peeke, Harmon V. S.
Child Development, v68 n6 p1031-40 Dec 1997
Examined the ability of 32-week human fetuses to learn and recall information. Found a significant heart rate habituation pattern for a series of vibroacoustic stimuli. After a single novel stimulus, the heart rate to stimulus 1 reemerged. Uterine contractions were not related to presentation of the novel stimulus or change in heart rate after the novel stimulus.
