Question

Janna likes to talk about her recovered memories of her own birth and the events of the first two years of her life. She provides many details and gets very emotional telling the stories. What does science tell us about these memories? Group of answer choices Janna is lying; no one can think they remember things from that early in life. They are likely very accurate because there was not much retrograde interference that early. It is understandable she recovered these memories because they are so traumatic. It is extremely unlikely they are real, as the brain is not developed enough to form and store such memories during those years.

Answer 1

Answer:

It is extremely unlikely they are real, as the brain is not developed enough to form and store such memories during those years.

Explanation:

In general, it is unlikely that a person can or may remember anything about one's birth or even early years. It is further stated that no one can remember anything about one's childhood until the age of three, let alone one's birth.

Janna's insistence that she has "memories of her own birth and the events of the first two years of her life" is extremely unlikely. Or even if she does have any memories of that sort, they are unlikely real, because the brain is not developed enough at that point of time to enable or store memories of those early years.

Thus, the correct answer is the fourth option.
