Why You Can't Remember Being a Baby?(The Real Reason)

Somewhere in your house is a photo of you as a baby, and you have no memory of that day at all. Not blurry. Not faded. Gone. The real reason has nothing to do with a bad memory and everything to do with a brain that was too busy building itself to keep score. In this video, you'll discover why infantile amnesia happens to literally everyone, what a famous crib experiment revealed about the memories babies actually do form, and why your hippocampus was quite literally under construction during your first years of life. You'll see why rapid brain growth and long-term memory storage are, in a strange way, in direct competition. And you'll learn why some of your most "vivid" childhood memories might actually be a photograph or a family story wearing a memory's disguise. If this reframed the way you think about your own earliest years, leave a comment and let me know what your first real memory is.
