There was sort of research that showed that this happens more often in early immigration situations (ie person emigrates as a very young child and subsequently retains early childhood memories from their "home country")
Fascinating
- peteretep 13y agoI moved countries at ages 3, 4, 5, and 6. Knowing that I can pin any image, sensation, or similar to a certain age really helps me identify the age I was at for those memories, where I'd probably just assume I'd been older, if that makes sense? If it happened in Bangkok, I was 3 or younger, the UK, 3-4, Malawai, 4-5 or Barbados, over 6. This makes it much much easier to know which memories I have from when I was < 3 (very few, but some), and 3-4.
- einhverfr 13y agoWe didn't change countries but when I was one my parents moved from California to Lansing Michigan, then when I was three, to Saginaw, then when I was 5 to Battle Creek, then when I was 8 to Richfield, Utah. I don't remember California at all. I remember the Michigan cities all very distinctly. So I believe that research.
