Why can't we remember being a baby?

Question

why dont we remeber being like 1 years old. thats so weird.

Answer 1

omg i know! i always wonderd that cause i would love to remember the good ol days as a 2 year old. but i think why we cant is because our brains wernt developed and probably didnt know what was going on! much less remember 13 years later!

Answer 2

Because our brains weren't developed enough to remember things unless they were significantly traumatic at the age of 1 1/2 or two. I know people (including myself) who remember child abuse at a very young age but not newborn...

Answer 3

It seems to be related to our ability to verbalize.  Children with delays in this area often have difficulty remembering specific early childhood memories.

Answer 4

long time memory dosent develope untill the age of three

Answer 5

Huh?  I remember way before one year old....seriously.  Why can't you?

Answer 6

Weak minds.
