Why can't I remember things as a baby?
Answer:
It is pretty much impossible to remember anything before the age of 4. People might disagree with me (they always do) but what people think is a memory from before age 4 is really of a memory of being told about it later or seeing a picture of it later. The reason is that our neurons (brain cells) have a layer surrounding them called the myelin sheath. We don't develop a lot of this until after age 4 (and we continue to develop more until about age 20). The memory areas of the brain in-particular don't develop myelin until after 4. Myelin supports the electrical impulse in the brain and assures the message travels to the next neuron, so lack of it doesn't allow that portion of the brain to act effectively.
Your brain is too small and not a good memory for babies
i think before you can totally get to that, then you have to think how you thought as a baby.
when you were born, you couldn't speak, and you didn't have words to think in - so what did you think in? presumably it was just some form of recognition of sounds and images.
but now we think almost entirely in words, those sounds and images can't be properly "translated" into how we think now- maybe its like they're in a different "format" or something, and because we can no longer think in that way, we can't remember it.
i don't know, it's just an idea, but i think it seems quite plausible.
They say that the mind doe's not realy form till the age of 3 or 4
You cannot remember things as a baby because your brain was not fully developed then.
I am an exception to the rule. I can still remember the Doctor slapping me on theass after he pulled me out. He whacked me hard too. I don't hold it against the Doc though because when my friend was born the Doctor cracked him in the face instead of theass because he was so ugly . lol..
