Your recent memory is more utilised and thus prioritised over longer memories. You remember things about your current friends more than your primary school friends because you come across them more and use those memories actively.
Toddlers can remember things about the womb; songs played during the end of the pregnancy can make a toddler very happy or relaxed even if they don’t hear it for a year or two after birth.
