Is there a reason why some adults can clearly recollect their life before the age of 10 years old?


Bill O'Reilly said he remembers something when he was 2 years old.

My earliest memory was just under the age of three.
It shocked my family members that I was able 2 describe in detail the event.

I have memories of being in the 'New Luck Toy' restauraunt with my parents and grandparents. My family only went there once, when I was 11 months old. It was very strange, when I was 26 & revisited the place.

My earliest memories are from when I was 2, and some are still very vivid.

Mine start at about the age of 2.

I have memories from when I was 2. They are very brief, but I can remember them clearly.

I can't imagine not having memory before 10! My earliest memory goes back to 2 1/2 and being lost when I went to England with my mother My next clear memory is around 4 From then on the nightmare is very vivid

I remember going to the hospital to see my younger sister after she was born when I was about 2 and 1/2.

Okay, wait a minute. Is nobody else going there? We need to change the title and direction of this thread.

Just WHY were you listening to/watching Bill O'Reilly?!

no reason to jack this thread for OReilly...just pointing out the age he specified

my memory is generally very patchy. i do however have a pretty clear memory from when i was three, though.

My earliest was 2yrs old as well.
My grandfather had died and I remember family being at my house that I never saw after that. My mother was amazed at the level of detail I remember.

I also thought the medical team (dressed in white) were angels taking him off to heaven.

I was about 18 months old at the time and sitting on a pram chair. My sister who was just 3 months old at the time was in the Silver Cross bassinet pram (this is in the early 60s). We were living in London at the time and I remember my Mother pushing the pram - she was wearing a black and white check coat, she had on makeup and wore her hair in a beehive and a chiffon scarf over the it. She was pushing the pram in a market in London. I can just about recall what I saw. I also remember my Mother and Father taking us to St James's Park in London and also feeding the pigeons at Trafalgar Square. My Mother cannot believe that I can recall all of these things.

I can remember spots and bits from 2 thru 5.....my parents got divorced when I turned 5, so from there I'm pretty clear with memories.....

My earliest memories start when I was three or four. I can even remember playing at my pediatrician’s office and another memory of being there when I was really sick, according to my parents I was two years old when that happen.

2. I fell off a couch and had to have stitches. I also remember bits and pieces all through elementary school. I remember kindergarten quite well, actually.

Very little before the age of 2. Pretty clear from about 2yrs 11mnths onwards.

Yeah, so clearly most people can remember a fair amount from before the age of 10.

My earliest memory is taking a nap in a basket of warm laundry. I've since seen the basket and it's pretty small. . .I had to be between 1 and 2.

I can remember trying to play with puppies that my parents had. I was trying to get into their box and my Dad laughed and took me to sit with him. I was a year old when the puppies were born. My parents kept one, he lived to be 17 years old.
I also have memories of my Grandma who died when I was 2 years old.

I remember some things from the age 2 onward

it sounds like things are remembered at such an early age if important enough.

i dont remember shit before 8 or 9.

You guys have great memories, the earliest vivid memory I have is one from when I was 4.

I remember Christmas and my birthday when I was 2. Not too much more before that.
