Generally, most of us don’t have many memories of our early childhood years (before 4 or so). But children that age can usually remember back to important events from a year or so before that—how do they lose these memories eventually? And why can’t we recall them as adults?
In: Biology
The majority of people don’t form memories that are ever until the age of three, as the part of the brain that makes/saves them isn’t fully developed. Hkwever, if a child an has a very strong memory, such as if they want her their mother die, or are reminded frequently of a memory, it can be retained.
