Positive results meaning that perhaps it enhances the kind of therapy we have in the future, music therapy, which we had for children with disabilities, the same thing could be utilized to detect any cognitive delays in young children, so that if they don't respond respond to music as well as you expect them to maybe this is something that we can use." TO TEST BABIES' DANCING DISPOSITION, THE RESEARCHERS PLAYED RECORDINGS OF CLASSICAL MUSIC, RHYTHMIC BEATS AND SPEECH TO INFANTS. THEY ALSO RECRUITED PROFESSIONAL BALLET DANCERS TO ANALYZE HOW WELL THE BABIES MATCHED THEIR MOVEMENTS TO THE MUSIC.
