Select a sentence from the passage that summarizes how babies' cries are linked to the sounds they heard in the womb.
6 But that is not what the scientists found. French babies
tended to cry "with a rising melody contour," they will report in the
December issue of the journal Current Biology. The cries
sounded French: the pitch changed from low to high, rising toward
the end of words as well as phrases within a sentence (though the
final sound of a sentence has a lower pitch). In contrast, the German
babies' cries had falling melodic contours. They sounded German:
the pitch fell from high to low, which is consistent with the sound of
German's falling melody contour, from the accented high-pitch
syllable at the start of a phrase or word to the lower pitch at the end
of a phrase. A French child says "papa," while a German one says
"papa." There is, in short, "a tendency for infants to utter melody
contours similar to those perceived prenatally," write the scientists.
