Memory, along with most other cognitive abilities, develops across the lifespan ( Ofen and Shing 2013). Some memories are left behind in childhood while others are carried with us, at least in some form, for a lifetime. A greater understanding of the characteristics of this memory trace will provide novel insights into how In new ways, from whether forgetting is due to a failure in retrieval or storage to how memories can be recovered after extended Excitingly, the discovery of this physical trace will allow us to explore previously untestable issues There appears to be a memory “trace” that persists in the face of forgetting which continues to affect a variety of behavioral We describe evidence showing that these forgotten early-acquired memories have not permanently decayed from storage.
Potential solution to this paradox by considering what happens to an early memory after it has been forgotten. This raises the question of how early memories can be so influential if they cannot be recalled. Nonetheless, decades of research in both humansĪnd nonhuman animals demonstrate the importance of early life experiences on later physical, mental, and emotional functioning.

Unlike adult memories that can be remembered for many years, memories that are formed early in life are more fragile and susceptible
