Fetuses found to have memories

An article in the Washington Times, titled "Fetuses found to have memories", summarizes research about the memory capacity that babies have before birth.

Research shows that "the human fetus displays short-term memory from at least 30 weeks gestation - or about two months before they are born." And that "34-week-old fetuses are able to store information and retrieve it four weeks later".
