I might even be able to find a reference to the kind of study you are looking for in my own papers.)
Hmmmmm. I can't quite put my finger on it but saying that we know that the babies recognise things that happened while in the woomb is fishy to me. Do you know of any reports or articles about it? I would like to see any study on this.

But if you do find something please post it. I'm a shmuck and don't know where to look for for something serious in it.

For instance on this article I don't get to know anything on how this conclusions were reached. So I just have to shrug to what is being presented to me. 😕

"With the opera, his heartbeat changed with the moods of the piece, then with the really fast Pulp Fiction song he just went absolutely nuts."
How do they know that he isn't just terrified to death??
Edit - Also,
"Before J was even born, I used to play him Eric B. & Rakim in the womb. He was about four months old crying his eyes out and I put on Eric B. & Rakim, and he started smiling."
This is pure speculation. Everyone has seen babies react to music that they more than likely haven't heard while in the womb.

A lot of things can change babies heart beats and I'm guessing that's not because the babies are used to it. Make an indonesian talk real loud next to a portugues baby that never heard indonesian. I'm sure the heart rate will change, but I'm guessing it has nothing to do with being used to it.

It doesn't go deeply into the studies, but it has references to them, although I don't know if you can find any of them online.
Just for this sentence:"It is true that the capabilities of animals have been underestimated. But overestimation is not the appropriate remedy. The corrective is to perform objective and replicable observations of behavior." I can tell that this seems to be a sensible study.
