Behavior was examined in 28 near term fetuses in the breech versus cephalic position. Breech fetuses had fewer body movements to a vibroacoustic stimulus and more to an airborne sound. These findings raise the possibility of differential perceptual experience before birth. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Dev Psychobiol 50: 530–534, 2008.
