What's your earliest memory?

[Monica]

The understanding right now is that a human child will be able to encode and retain episodic memory (memories about autobiographical event) when language skills are sufficiently developed. Some children may develop memory capabilities earlier than others if they are a bit ahead in their language development. That could be somewhere between 1-2yo+. We may also retain memories via sensory and emotional means but may not be able to recall specific events or the memory about the event is very vague. But then, our understanding of the brain is still in its infancy so who knows. I don't know much about brain-foods but I think if you combine general health, genetic factors, and condition of the pregnancy, it's possible that those factors could be related to the child's abilities.

In my son's case, he recalled 2 specific events: crying and I didn't come (he was in intensive care) and medical procedures which he described from his perspective. The crying was an emotional imprint and the medical was a physical imprint. He remembered both and described them so accurately that there no question they were real memories.

He was far, far ahead in cognitive skills and language - speaking and reading at a very early age.

We have to also take into consideration that these new children may be mutating. Many of the new children have abilities not yet recognized by mainstream science, such as telepathic abilities, past life recall, etc.
