And that's assuming that you've forgotten your own childhood or it was atypical to the point of thinking 7 year olds are frequently required to take naps in the middle of the day.

NAYRT - Yeah, this is the part I never understand. Do people honestly not remember being a child? My memory is pretty solid from about five years onwards. And I remember enough of my thought processes and experiences at four to get a passable sense of how I functioned. I get that not everyone has memories from before they turned three, but I'd think that most people would be able to remember being six or seven with a decent amount of clarity.

DA I mean, my memory of childhood is pretty fuzzy until 9 or 10.

And I remember enough of my thought processes and experiences at four to get a passable sense of how I functioned. Haha, nope. Sometimes people talk about early childhood memories and I'm like idk what I was doing, eating dirt? Good thing my sister has the memory of a steel trap to remind me of embarrassing moments and things I did wrong. 🙄

Individuals with extensive trauma and certain kinds of neurodivergent conditions (ADHD, for instance) may have a "Swiss cheese memory."

I attribute memories to the wrong part of my life constantly, and if I play it back my life is more a series of flashbulb impressions than a continuous reel of film. I'm mostly unable to remember when those flashes occurred unless I actively rebuild the memory from context clues. Which means I might be able to do it, but with great effort.

(Apropos of nothing, I have great working and long-term memory. My episodic memory is the only one that's complete crap.)

NAYRT

Er. I've got absolutely no clarity from before ten, maybe. Memories, sure, particularly of scenery, rooms, places, but of the day to day or thoughts I had at the time? Nothing.

Vastly different experiences...

I'm 38, and I have almost no memory of being a child or what my thought processes were like. I'm the youngest in my family by a decade+ and was always around adults except for school, so I'm not sure I would trust my personal experience as a 'normal' one anyway.
