Ive always had some episodic memories from my childhood that haven't changed, but this article says that some so-called "experts" think that I might be full of shit. A Yale professor calls this inability to remember our formative years "childhood amnesia." Apparently, my whole perception of my past life is flawed.
"Episodic memories are a type of long-term memory that involve personal experiences and specific events, whereas Semantic memories are memories of facts and information. Now, I’m not going to argue with a Yale professor, but I’ve always had some episodic memories my whole life that haven’t changed, so maybe I am completely wrong and my perception of my past life is flawed. This inability to remember our formative years even has a name – childhood amnesia."
