Childhood amnesia that we can not recall memories of infancy. (google)
Childhood called the happiest period. Maybe some of us still remember childhood memories first. But why can not remember a time when I was a baby?
No one can remember when your newborn? Or when you learn to walk and talk? In fact, what you also remember when blowing out the candles for the first time when the first anniversary? The answer is of course no one can remember these moments. Well I wonder why?
Apparently, the earliest memories that can be remembered by most people is between the ages of three and seven years. Reporting from firsttoknow.com, the theory of this phenomenon was first introduced more than a century ago by the famous psychologist Sigmund Freud. Childhood memory loss is called childhood amnesia, or childhood amnesia.
Although there are still a lot of debate and not yet fully ascertained why childhood amnesia occurs, many scientists believe that the baby does not have episodic memory. Episodic memory is memory that is associated with the specific details of an event. In early life, the brain is not able to classify information into intricate patterns of nerve, which we refer to as memories.
Conversely, when a toddler we can only rely on semantic memory. Semantic memory refers to the long-term memory to process ideas and concepts that are not derived from personal experience. That is, semantic memory makes us remember things that are common, such as the names of colors, sounds, letters, numbers, and so forth.
This information will be stored in the long term by semantic memory, so that we continue to remember these things. That is why gold is said to be a period of growth when we were children.
