How come we(people)dont remember being born or things that might have happened to us as a child?

Answer 1

I don't even remember what I had for lunch

Answer 2

The human brain learns from repetition, as well a child's brain is not fully developed and as a result only very traumatising things are really remembered from babyhood to early childhood. Pain you remember, but what you had for breakfast on your third birthday is lost in the shuffle.

Answer 3

It hasn't been conclusively proven yet but one theory I recall is that your brain is still actively growing and producing tons of new neural connections. In short, your brain is so active with these things that memory falls by the wayside or memory is essentially paved over as your brain grows.

Still.... that doesn't really make sense given that as a child or infant you're learning a million different things every day =/.

Oi,

Cheers,

Answer 4

Many people remember very far back in their childhood, some to the very early months. As people age, they remember things that surprise them and some that they really don't want to remember.

Be patient, you will remember many things in time.

Answer 5

Good and hard question, but I remember stuff when I was two years old all the way to the age 19

Answer 6

Intelligence denotes just how far back you can remember. My earliest memory was of the age of three. And why in the world is this question under Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered?

Answer 7

Do you honestly think everyone can remember something that happened SO long ago.

Answer 8

Because we cannot organize our memories into narrative form prior to a certain age.

Answer 9

I remember nipples

Answer 10

Because they are unimportant and insignificant
