He didn't say the babies were trained, he said they are born with it and the experiment proves that. I have always been afraid of heights and always wondered why. I even have trouble riding an elevator, my legs begin to shake and I feel like I'm about to pass out the higher I get. I have actually passed out a few times, my heart gets to racing and I saw a cardiologist he said when my heart beats that fast it's not pumping enough blood to the brain and that's why I pass out. He told me the only way to keep from passing out, was to lay down and put my feet up for about 20-30 minutes, then get up slowly to see if I feel like my heart is back in regular rhythm. I then developed anxiety due to the fact I thought I was going to die, when I have an anxiety attack I have to lay down and put my feet up as well. It's just so scary.

I never thought about a baby identifying with a drop off. That is so eye opening! Wow!

So, if it’s learned, did you just give a bunch of babies a fear of heights?
