how does remembering super far back memories work?

437 views

I dont know, if i even worded this right.

But i have this recurring memory(flashback?) Of the ONE time i went to speech therapy when i was like 4 or 5.

I cant even remember what i ate last week but i remember this vividly as if it just happened but its been 11 or 12 years.

How does that work? Why does this happen?

It was a novel experience. You can remember that moment better because it was significant, and you probably experienced a lot of new stimuli with all of your senses. So not just visual, but touch, smell, sound, etc. the more inputs your brain gets from a new experience. The better it will be at recalling it later.
