I think it happens to a certain extent, if we do as the article says, and revisit our memories. We then probably reinterpret our memories in the context of our new and updated understanding of the world.
In other cases I believe it’s quite possible that our understanding of the world, say at age two, is so radically different from our adult understanding, that the old memories don’t even make any sense in the new context. They can’t be remapped in any meaningful manner.
