WHAT IS CHILDHOOD AMNESIA? - News Techcology
Childhood amnesia refers to the inability of people to remember events from the early years of their lives - typically before 3.5 years old.Females appear to to have better memories for this than men and on average could go back further than men.There a number of theories about why this might be happening.The most controversial was put forward by psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud who believed it was a response to sexual repression.Another theory suggests childhood amnesia is down to a lack of lack of language skills before the age of three.It was previously thought children were unable to retain memories before the age of seven.However, in 2005 researchers found five and a half year olds remembered 80 per cent of things that happened when they were three.By the time they reached seven and a half they remembered less than 40 per cent.This shows children can remember things but that they don't last for as long as things that happen in adulthood.
