music pow wow

MYTH: Playing Mozart or other classical music for your baby will make her smarter (Dr Adesman, 2009)

...this should be interesting (not to mention I might get this blog phished in 5secs). Dr Adesman in his book Babyfacts said that the positive result of a research done on college students at the University of California in Irvine in 1993 who performed better on a spatial relationships test after listening to Mozart sonata could not be duplicated (like unsuccessfully tried by researchers at Appalachian State University), and also that the UC Irvine study focused on college students and the effect lasted only 15 mins. In fact the lead researcher of the UC Irvine study said that the results were never meant to imply that classical music would make babies smarter or cure health ailments.

er... mama got you a Baby Einstein CD (just ONE) and being so darn proud to be such a smart proactive mama at that time (just a 1/2 sec passing pride!)... well you are allowed to kick me (only from within) if you don't like it.

  3. i got this one when in chandler but i believe i saw it in BeBe Home in gurney last time. I think most baby shops will have this type of CDs. Once in Spore, i came across this shop that sells also Stokke brands (the rm4.5k stroller that i am so crazy about) and it has this one tall rack with baby CDs but i caught myself from grabbing them since no BB yet haha. Just ONE CD now la for feel feel.
