Date: 2011-06-06 11:43 am (UTC)My own "theory" has always been that we remember things by linking them to other things. "We went to the zoo and I saw an elephant and it ate my bun." That's three things, linked. A very small child won't make those links, so the sight of a bun might remind them of having one stolen, but not of the elephant that did it, much less of the zoo. The very few memories I've got from that age are like that: split-second snap-shots, that fall out of the memory because they're not attached to anything else, and without the attachment, they make no sense to my adult mind. I can only deduce that they happened at that age by asking my parents.
