Porque Você NÃO LEMBRA de Ter Sido UM BEBÊ

Understanding how memories are formed in childhood is fundamental to understanding the development of our identity, emotions, and even certain behavioral patterns that stay with us throughout life. The early years are an intense phase of neurological development, during which the brain selects what to keep and what to discard, based on criteria linked to survival, learning, and emotional organization. Learning more about this process helps us not only understand why we forget our early years, but also recognize how these experiences shape, in subtle and profound ways, who we are today. --------------- Expert and videomaker: Amanda Costa – postgraduate in Positive Psychology Narration: Vânia Silva Online readings we use in our content and recommend: https://www.psychologytoday.com https://psychcentral.com https://www.theschooloflife.com Additional references for this video: 1.
