Thatâs right, GEICO. Segmentation is the marketerâs Holy Grailâfind the group that needs what youâre selling and presto. Statistical analysis is ubiquitous now, identifying advantageous segments in every consumer sector. And Geico today is far better known for the cavemen and gecko in its ads than for targeting government employees. (Indeed as segmenting became more sophisticated Geico moved beyond its original mandate and now offers insurance to the general public in all 50 states.)

In fact, your baby can hear â and respond to â a wide range of sounds, from those your body makes to sounds outside your womb.
Yes, researchers have long known that newborns recognize â and prefer â their mom's voice. And any new mother can tell you that the sound of her voice delights her new baby. Some babies also seem soothed by noises like whirring fans and washing machines because these probably sound similar to what they heard in the womb. Amazingly, babies may be able to recognize their mother's voice even before birth. A study done at the Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, Washington found that babies in the womb actively listen to their mother's voice during the last ten weeks of pregnancy.
