Memories during childhood amnesia (2-4 years) are hard to remember. Do you agree with this? Do you remember incidents from your life that took place before the age of 2 or 3? I vividly remember an event from my childhood, when my parents had a fight and they failed to notice my presence in the room. I was nearly 3 years old. I cannot think of any other strong recollection before that age!
I can remember a dream I had at 3 years old of a massive room filled with grey cubicles and "glowy boxes" in them and you had to somehow operate a device to get stuff to work on these screens that glowed in this large room full of grey cubicles. This happened when I was 3 years old in 1978.
my earliest childhood memory was between 2 and 3 years old, I was standing in the kitchen drinking my bottle as my family brought the groceries in. Its odd I saw this post because I have been thinking about that experience but now I really see I share it with others; what about the memories before? The earlier ages!?
Building snow fortresses with my older brothers. Other than that it's all blurred. According to some studies the real, firm memories are formed only around the age of 10. I guess we are lucky if we remember what happened around the age of 3... http://children.webmd.com/news/20110511/when-do-kids-form-their-first-memories
These few incidents we remember have some association with our emotions for example something stressful or something painful is remembered vividly due to the emotion attached to it. Rest we do not remember because of the limited capacity of our brain to register events and make them accessible to us at a later stage. Hence they say it's the Infantile Amnesia, the age when we do not remember what happened with us. Sometimes we feel we remember something but it is just an imagination of ours that we create after looking at the photographs and listening to stories from our parents and relatives.
