Question

Is it possible to have memories of being one years old?

Answer 1

Well, I remember being 6 months old, in my mother's arms and crying my heart out because of my first vaccine that hurt so much. I even remember the hat my mother was wearing and her hairdo. Why one should not remember early stages of their lives? There's nothing special or awkward about that?

Answer 2

well i remember my 2nd birthday, the cake and everything...so i think u can, some peoples memory span can go beyond others!!

Answer 3

Only if something very traumatic happens.  

Answer 4

It's possible, I have a few vague memories of being that young, or close, I really can't say if I was actually 1 at that point, but pretty close.

Answer 5

i have memories from when i was one. i know this because i had a broken leg at one and altho i dont remember it getting broke...i remember walking around with a cast and getting it taken off. i remember alot from when i was young. some people say its cuz something bad happened young...and with me thats true (not the broken leg). i dont remember this but i know it happened since ive been told and also read the court stuff..

Answer 6

no u juss remember ppls stories of u bein 1 and imagine urself in that situation

Answer 7

yes. unconciously their brains are memorizing many many many many things. they are in the beginning of their learning.

Answer 8

Well, I definitely believe you can.  It's just that most people don't.

Answer 9

General consensus is, No. But I don't believe it, because I can remember being in diapers and reaching up for my aunt to pick me up..

That was over 60 yrs ago!

Answer 10

Yup! Certainly! Try even younger! :) In the right circumstances and environment people can be made to remember these. I've witnessed it myself in other people. My own memories probably go back to being 14mths old or so. My mom is my witness (to prove the memories were correct). I remember the sights sounds the surroundings, everything!

  The more you try to remember, the further back you can go! Just because most people never seriously devote themselves to trying to do this, doesn't mean it can't be done! :)
