Why Can't You Remember Anything Before Age 3?

Try to remember the earliest moment of your life. Most people land on a birthday party, a fall off a bike, a hospital room. But the real reason those years are missing has nothing to do with forgetting. In this video, you'll discover why your brain wasn't failing during your first three years, it was building the exact system it would later need to find those memories again. You'll meet the real research behind infantile amnesia, from Patricia Bauer's work on the developing hippocampus, to Carolyn Rovee-Collier's famous mobile experiment proving toddlers do form memories, to Carole Peterson's unsettling discovery that childhood memories quietly rewrite themselves over time. You'll also see how Elizabeth Loftus's false memory research reveals just how easily a memory can be planted in a mind that never experienced it at all. By the end, you'll understand why your earliest years weren't erased, they were simply lived by a self that hadn't learned how to remember yet.
