I can remember brightness, and a black square on the wall. I can remember the voices, sounded like I was hearing underwater, vision blurry.

Laying on the floor watching a giant animal walk past me. It was my grandmother's cat and I was about 9 or 10 months old.

Under the Duvet

I can remember being in my pram, on my back, parked outside my man's house.

I was furious because no one was paying me any attention and all I could see was the brick gable end of the house and the blue sky above it.

Must have been really little as I couldn't sit up unaided or I would have been out of that bloody pram!

Around age 4 moving house. Those who can remember before 3 are you sure they are memories or just recalling events? Didn't think it was possible due to the way the child's brain develops. Intetesting to hear your evidence for otherwise.

I'm sure it's a memory. Nobody would have told me I was laying on the floor looking at a giant animal. They would have told me I was looking at a cat. I only realised it was a cat later in life when I recalled the memory and identified the animal.

But at 9 months old the hippocampus isn't fully formed so how can the memory be stored? Genuine question cos I can't remember anything before 4 years old. I recall stuff I have been told happened like getting stuff in my pram but I don't actually remember it.

Anyone who knows me will tell you my memory is crap. Barely remember conversations I had last week, couldn’t tell you what I ate yesterday.

So nothing remembered really from age 10-11.

A cat scratched me.

Although I have one memory very young maybe 6 but unsure if it happened when I hid with my dad.

just trawling through google sites on early memory,seems many can remember from age 3+ but some can have 'snapshot memories' from 6 months...which seems to be what some on here saying ,especially trauma related.. interesting .

It is. And there is so little known about the brain. So much research is needed in this area. Who knows what will come to light in the future.

No idea. I just know I remember it. I know I was at my grandmother's and I saw a big animal. Recalling it later as an image I realised it was a cat.

I have other early memories too from around two years old but that is the most vivid.

That's possibly what mine are. I don't recall a whole sequence of events but an image of place, sensation and emotion.

Was born in the West of England, and was told how my grandfather would feed me things he shouldn't when walking round a local park, was Aprox 18 months when we left.

When about 11 we passsed through this town on route to going on holiday passing the above mentioned park, I enquired was that the park etc etc? Why...?. It was exactly how I had imagined it when told of my grandfather's antics...

It actually was... The same park
