It was fund that children wh were questined again at ages 5, 6 and 7 were still able t recall 63 t 72 percent f the events. 76 This shws that memries f early childhd start t drp quickly arund the age f 7.
Accrding t scientists, befre the age f 7, children dn't have a feeling f time r place t bring tgether all the pieces f infrmatin that make up a strng memry.
