Maybe there is something to this kind of moment as being particularly memorable, because one of the distinct moments I can recall that I know had to have been before 12 months was playing on the floor with my grandfather. He had a stroke not long after, which is how I know this had to have been the timeline. I can see the 1970s carpet, I know he was there bouncing me around as you do with a baby, and then mom came around the corner. That stuff can't just be an implanted suggestion from a picture - it almost makes me wonder is there a kind of micro trauma of being separated from the adult and then seeing them again that provokes a memory to be generated? Is there something novel about this kind of moment that causes memory to kick in and capture the moment, even though I can't remember what I ate for lunch yesterday?
