Welcome to our Learn a thing in the bathroom from Dollar Shave Club, where we explain something very complicated in mere minutes to occupy your brain value. Shave in this edition will be answering the question. Why can't I remember my own birth? As explained by someone who sounds smart because he's British? People often say they remember nothing from before the age of three, but that really depends on what you count as memories. We do things every day that we learned to do as an infant walking, feeding ourselves, learning an entire language. All that happened in your first three years. It's what's called implicit memory, the same kind of memory that lets you remember how to ride a bike even if you haven't written one in 20 years, right? But why can't I remember specific things that happened, like actually being born into our memories? Just not work when we're dumb, tiny babies? Well, your bus is a little too early to be stored away in your memory. It's believed we start being able to form long term memories from as early as three months old, but we don't remember any of that time either. And there are few reasons for that. One suggestion is that at such a young age, we have no words to describe the things that are happening to us. Being able to verbalise something is an important part of making a memory stick. A study in 2000 and four found that when Children didn't know the words to describe an event, even if they learned the appropriate words afterwards, they still wouldn't eventually remember the event itself.
