Can you remember being born?

In this fascinating episode of Stuff You Should Know, Josh and Chuck dive into the mystery of childhood amnesia - why none of us can remember being born or our earliest years, despite the fact that babies can actually form memories from just a few months old. They explore the difference between various types of memory, from explicit autobiographical memories to unconscious implicit memories, and reveal surprising research about how language development and our sense of self play crucial roles in creating lasting memories. The hosts unpack decades of scientific studies that challenge old assumptions about infant brain development and explain why our earliest memories typically don't stick around until we're about three years old.
