- W2303508553 abstract "ABSTRACT: This research study examined the hypothesis that preverbal children are capable of implicitly and explicitly registering their prenatal and perinatal experiences and of subsequently communicating these experiences through their behavior. It asked the question, Can trained observers accurately identify preverbal children's prenatal and perinatal experiences based on the children's behavior in a therapeutic setting? The study utilized mixed-method analysis, and accuracy was assessed according to the degree of correspondence between the observers' interpretations of behaviors and the pregnancy and birth history as described by the child's parents and/or his or her therapists). The results revealed a high degree of correspondence (72%) between observers' interpretations and the children's prenatal or perinatal histories, which suggests that the selected children's behaviors have a direct relationship to particular prenatal or perinatal experiences. From these results, we might make the inferential leap that preverbal children appear to be capable of accessing and reenacting memories from their prenatal or perinatal lives. If true, this has implications for our understanding of the importance of prenatal and perinatal life to the subsequent physical, emotional, and mental development and well-being of the child. KEY WORDS: prenatal memory, preverbal children, consciousness, prenatal and perinatal psychology. INTRODUCTION Throughout the past two hundred years, most medical and psychological professionals believed that prenates and newborns are not conscious beings because their brains are not fully developed, and that preverbal children are not capable of memory. At the same time, another prevalent belief was that adults could not remember their lives before three years of age-a phenomenon called infantile amnesia-and that any memory of that time is a fantasy or a false memory (Chamberlain, 1990; Siegel, 1999; Siegel & Hartzell, 2003). The underlying assumption is that the mind is a function of the brain and that without brain function, capacities associated with the mind are not possible. As a corollary, after the brain is dead, the mind stops existing, too. During the past decades, research into prenatal life, near-death experiences, and reincarnation has shown an overwhelming number of cases that indicate that consciousness is independent of the brain and precedes the development of the central nervous system (Atwater, 1999; Chamberlain, 1999a; Ring & Elsaesser Valarino, 2000; Shroder, 2001; Tendam, 1990). At thesame time, research has shown that prenates and newborns are capable of intelligent communication and memory. This latter perspective, part of an emerging paradigm (Chamberlain, 1999a; Dossey, 1999; McCarty, 2002, 2004; Verny & Kelly, 1981; Wade, 1996), has clear and important implications for the way we meet and communicate with prenates and newborn babies, as well as for how we support people in their process of dying. This new paradigm considers prenates and newborns to be conscious beings capable of memory, mentation, intelligence, emotions, learning, and communication. Are Preverbal Children Capable of Remembering Prenatal Life? Psychologists and psychotherapists in past decades have reported cases of adults who spontaneously remember their prenatal lives and births (Chamberlain, 1999b; Cheek, 1986; Janov, 1983). These memories frequently have been corroborated by hospital records or information provided by the clients' parents. This has challenged the old belief about infantile amnesia and the supposed incapacity of prenates and newborns to learn and communicate. Later studies have found that toddlers also are capable of remembering specific events in their prenatal lives and births, and that they are able to communicate these explicit memories once they start to talk (Ikegawa, 2002; McCarty, 2004; Piontelli, 2004; Rhodes, 1991). The present study was designed to explore the boundary even further and to examine the idea that preverbal children are capable of having implicit and perhaps even explicit memories of their prenatal lives, something considered impossible by present neurobiology (Siegel, 1999; Siegel & Hartzell, 2003). …" @default.
