Chart of Critical Periods of Human Development
After searching for hours for a chart depicting fetal development I finally found one worth looking into. This chart shows the vital parts of pregnancy that affect the fetus. The part I was interested in was the auditory development though.
In my earlier posts I talk about how music played too loudly could hurt the forming ears of the child, this confirms that this is possible. From week 4 to week 9 is when there is the highest possibility of malformed ears and deafness. Another article I found earlier in the week said that forming fetuses can distinguish sounds as early as 8 weeks. My interpretation of this is that music can help or hinder at this early stage of pregnancy.
I attempted to use several resources to find charts and statistics but most of my keywords did not work. I tried pregnancy+"fetal development"+charts, pregnancy+emotion+chart, cognitive development AND pregnancy, pregnancy+charts, and finally pregnancy+development+charts worked. I'm glad I know this now because at first it seemed impossible to find anything on the subject.
I searched for quite a while on June 17th and all of my keywords brought up dozens of hits but only 1 in 10 were slightly helpful.
