Explanation:

Unlike amnesia in adults, infantile amnesia is not a disorder but a normal condition: It is one’s inability to recall events that occurred before the age of about 3 to 4 years. Some researchers explain this phenomenon as a consequence of the toddler brain’s immature memory structures, while others see a connection to the pace of language development. A third camp holds that young children do not yet understand the world well enough to encode sensory information effectively.

• Infantile amnesia is a normal thing because before 3 to 4 years they are unable to recognize things. In this time, their brain gets developed, memory structures develop and language also gets developed.
