Most people likely have more childhood memories than they think -- and they could go back even further than previously believed.
Aug. 2, 2021 -- Most people probably have more early childhood memories than they are fully aware of, and retrieving those early experiences is easier to prompt than previously thought, according to Carole Peterson, MD, of Memorial University of Newfoundland in St. John's, Canada.
Most people have more memories from their preschool years than is widely believed, says Peterson, who has been studying childhood"We had this model that there was one memory that essentially is the beginning, the watershed, the boundary, and that's the start of your event memory," explains Peterson.
"People develop a life story that gives their life meaning," says Peterson."It's who they are, what they are. Their early events go into that life story." If memories play an important role in our sense of self, then understanding memory is important, too, she adds. One of my earliest memories is my Dad showing me pineapple weed growing around the dry, gravelly side roads of North Delta. To this day I enjoy picking and smelling it in the summer.
