No Commercial Product is Shown to Improve Baby Cognitive Development
Believe it or not, no commercial product has ever been shown in a scientifically responsible manner (or even in an irresponsible non-scientific manner) to do anything to improve the brain performance of a developing fetus. There have been no double-blind, randomized experiments whose independent variable was the presence or absence of the gadget. No rigorous studies showing that an in utero education curriculum produced long-term academic benefits when the child entered high school. No twins-separated-at-birth studies attempting to tease out nature and nurture components of a given product’s effects. That includes the in utero university. And the in utero Mozart.
Notes:
There is no research supporting any product doing anything.
