a child's memory..

No I don't think we really rememebr that far back. My earliest memories was kindergarten and I was about 4 then too. We don't start remembering until a few years I think

Well I don't remember being 1 years old but I do think they do have memory at this age. My daughter is 16 months old and we were just visiting my parents this last weekend. The last time we had been there she was about 13 months old.Well this weekend she remembered some things about he prior visit there like when we asked her where some things were outside and inside the house she would go and find them without our assistance so she obviously remembered.I was amazed!

yes ,when he grow up,he remember nothing about his childhood incidents before he was 3 years old ,but who care,last weekend ,my daughter had her first brithday.and she ate so much cake,and ereryone was so happy ,that is enough.

No, he's not going to remember his birthday that young. I think the earliest memories that we can remember are from when we're around 3 years old. I don't remember exactly why it's like this, I just remember reading about it in one of my psychology courses.

It's very impossible for a child that is 1 years old to remember anything and have it as a memory. A person can remember as early as being 3 maybe 2.5 years old but a lot of those memories are ones that are every unclear and normally are not correct at all. Children brains are still pretty much forming and the storage part of the brain isn't every strong yet at that time so it take reaping things over and over again for it to stick.

Hi friend, good to hear about your friend's son's b'day. My belated b'day with to him. Most of the little kids don't have the ability to remember about this kind of childhood incidents, but very few kids remember about this kind of interesting incidents in their life

According to the new study, 13-month-old babies could not remember events they had witnessed and mimicked four months earlier — a task that came easily to their elders, ages 21 months and 28 months. And 6-month-olds have a memory span of no more than about 24 hours, which gradually expands to up to a month by 9 months. So long-term memory does not start to rev up until after the first birthday and fully gets into gear throughout the second year of life. The research indicates memory matures along with the brain so that a 2-year-old can easily remember and repeat an act seen four months earlier but a 1-year-old cannot. So I guess powerful and traumatic occurrences will only register and be remembered from the second year.

hi chicks, I can't remember my 1st birthday celebration but I can remember the event that happened to me when I was 4 so maybe like other child they can't remember it too... happy mylotting

I don't think baby of 1 year can remember anything about his birthday because I have do not remember as well.... Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead

It's been said that children starting from age 0 to 6 are actually in a state of downloading everything they see and hear and observe from their surroundings into their subconscious, which in turn influences how they behave later on in life. They may not remember their 1st birthday celebration readily, but that memory is stored and will play an important role in shaping their personality :)
