The Importance of Early Childhood Memories

What are your earliest childhood memories? How many stories can you tell about events in your life that happened before you reached the age of four?  New research shows that people who can recall these events from early childhood are generally more psychologically healthy as adults.  So what factors determine an individual's ability to recall these early events in their life? Read this article to find out more on this research and then share your thoughts below.  How well can you recall early memories from your childhood and to what do you attribute your ability to do so (or lack thereof)? What are these memories about and why do you think you can still recall them after all these years? Do the findings from this research hold true for you and your ability (or inability) to recall these early memories today?
