Abstract
The study was carried out in 2008 using data from the general public with the purpose of investigating the ratio of possessing memories from their time in the womb to persons who do not possess such memories. The subjects consisted of 617 families, which included 2448 persons all together (1442 adults, 1006 under 20 years of age, designated as minors). The results of the study showed 80 families with one or more members possessing memories from their time in the womb (13.0% of the total number of families). The total number of the individuals in these families who reported memories from their time in the womb was 91 (3.7%) of the total number of persons investigated) among whom there were 18 adults (1.2%) and 73 minors (7.3%). To the author's best knowledge this investigation is the first in the world to examine memories from the time in the womb and to establish ratios for possessing the memories among households and the total number of persons in the household.
