Effects of the Firstart Method of Prenatal Stimulation on Psychomotor Development: From Six to Twelve Months

In a previous paper, we reported the
developmental advantages found in the first semester of life, in a sample of babies that had been prenatally
stimulated using the Firstart program. In this paper we offer the results obtained comparing the control and the
experimental groups in the second semester of life. Although children in the experimental group are again more
advanced than children in the control group, in some behaviors related to memory, fine motor activities, gross
motor activities, cooperation in learning, imitation, and self-recognition, the advantages at this age level are
fewer than at the preceding level.
