Hi …. Your memory is working from the moment you're born ... but because you don't understand a thing (you will learn that in the first couple of years…= consciousness)the memory anagrams ...don't mean a thing ...until you know what to do with the information (and partially because you're brain is still maturing...i.e. if you never encountered any image ..(because you're blind for instance) ...you're visual system in your brain will not mature and have no function ... and that's for almost all your brain functions ..so if a baby is confronted with a horse ... in the months that his visual system is not yet matured ...he/she will only remember a fuzzy brown thing ...) The moment that a baby will remember something ... is different from the moment that he or she is conscious of something ... And that are two different things
