For the first time, the bicycle was drilled, the seashells gathered on a sea shore or the posters hanging on the wall of the room… Can we really trust these memories?
Childhood memories are as valid as adulthood memories?
In fact, both children and adults can be mistaken in some times.
Compared to the research, the Beşler forget about their events, especially after a short time after the ordinary events took place. The more time passes over the events, the more the likelihood of remembering.
Again, as time goes on, the memories lose their details day by day. However, if a person remembers an event with all his details, no matter how much time passes over, he continues to remember 93 %to 95 %.
How much is it possible to remember childhood memories?
Researcher Carole Peterson and his colleagues interviewed children changing in the middle of the age of 4 to 13 to find the answer to this question, and after 2 years have passed since this meeting, they asked the questions again.
The results were surprising. If the children’s memories were clear and chronological, they remembered much more. However, mixed and systemless memories were not so remembered.
In addition, a strong contact with emotion was discovered in the midst of real remembering. In other words, the possibility of the events loaded with feelings were much higher than the apparently. For example, if an event is painful and very sad, the details of the memories were much more remembered.
On the other hand, in some cases both in humans and children, live memories of furnishing memories or never experienced events can be created.
In other words, the person thinks these memories are real and lived, but in fact, there is nothing. So much that these unrealistic reminders can be extremely realistic and detailed.
In summary, what happened in the age of children can be remembered for memories of adulthood. In particular, if these memories contain heavy feelings, the probability of remembering is increasing.
In short, if your child, who comes to the age of adolescence, talks about a moment of childhood period, you should believe him.
