Canadian researchers have found that young kids have the quality to stretch back the memories till infancy. These memories however fade away in the childhood only.

The researchers at Memorial University of Newfoundland interviewed 140 children in the age group 4 to 13 years in order to describe their earliest memories. Their parents confirmed their timings and it was found that the children really can recall their memories.

The research founded that the youngest children were able to recall memories of 2 years of age.

This research also found that once the children get older their memories fade out.

"Younger children's earliest memories seemed to change, with memories from younger ages being replaced by memories from older ages", said study leader Carole Peterson, professor of psychology at the university, in a news release from the Society for Research in Child Development. "But older children became more consistent in their memories as they grew older", she said.

It has been proved that as the children grow up, their memories get weak and they cannot recollect those.

It is in the early life or at a very younger age that they can recollect their memories. The age 4 to 13 is the possible age during which children can recollect memories of infancy.
