How far back can you go in memory? Do you think you have good memory?

Question

Think about this one....

Answer 1

Two years old. I remember my mother handing off my newborn sister out of the window of our station wagon to my grandmother in one of those old fashioned photo drop off booths in the middle of a parking lot and thought that we were giving her away.

I remember the things I want to very well but have a bad short term memory.

Answer 2

I have a clear memory from when I was 3 years old. It surprises my parents that I remember travelling through Mexico with them - and that I threw up in the back of the car..

This kind of memory?

Answer 3

I have a near photographic memory- which has its positives and negatives.
My earliest memory is age 18 months, in my crib.

Answer 4

Till about 2 years old. My memory was excellent at one time; but at my age now, I'd call it "selective."

Answer 5
