Analysis of visual recognition memory changes resulting from pre and post natal music practice

The purpose of this study was to determine the “Analysis of Visual Recognition Memory of infant Changes Resulting from Pre and Postnatal Music Practice”. To achieve this purpose the investigator met the people, from hospitals and clinics in and around of Chidambaram randomly selected thirty Pregnant women in third trimester subjects. And their age between 20 to 35 years. The selected subjects were assigned into 2 groups: prenatal music group (n=15) and control group (n=15). The criterion variable selected in this study was Visual Recognition Memory which was measured by visual preference test. The pre and Postnatal music stimulation training group underwent third trimester of training. Visual Recognition Memory was measured on the infant home. The data was analysed using Analysis of co-variance (ANCOVA). The result of the study showed post test (F=1.75) and adjusted post test mean (F=55.32) showed significant (p < 0.05) difference among repeated – prenatal music training group and control group on Visual Recognition Memory of infant. It is concluded that pre and Postnatal stimulation training for third trimester is more effective in increasing Visual Recognition Memory of infant.
