According to an article by David K. James, School of Human Development, University of Nottingham, Queen's Medical Centre, Nottingham, UK:

"Learning is defined as a change in behavior that occurs as a result of experience. It is clear that the fetus can learn by means of habituation, classical conditioning and exposure learning."

This is a fascinating article about the importance of learning during the fetal period.  To read the complete article, please click on the Wiley Interscience logo.
