Man, he does not do it volitionally, develops most spectacularly in the prenatal period throughout the ontogenesis
An outstanding contemporary researcher of the prenatal period in human life Dorota Kornas-Biela rightly notices that interest in the earliest stage of human mental development is a new phenomenon in the history of science
The context of the emergence of these interests was determined by many cultural and social factors, but undoubtedly the greatest stimulus for the emergence of prenatal psychology was the achievements in the field of medical techniques enabling insight into the intrauterine environment. (Kornas-Biela 2007, p. 14)
Summary
He does not do it volitionally, develops most spectacularly in the prenatal period throughout the ontogenesis. Summarizing the considerations made so far, it should be stated that in modern developmental psychology, including prenatal psychology, and prenatal pedagogy, it is emphasized that a person needs developmental support from the very beginning of life, i.e. from the moment he is brought to life It is extremely important in the first period of life, because development takes place at an extraordinary pace, which is difficult to question considering the fact that during approximately 280 days, corresponding to 40 weeks of pregnancy, a woman only produces an organism consisting of over 200 million cells from just one fertilized cell. We know today that music, appropriately selected to the mother’s preferences, has a positive impact on her psychophysical state, and, has a positive effect on the development of the fetus
