Past researches show that peoples earliest memories typically form around 3 to 3. 5 years of age. But in a recent
18、survey of more than 6,600 people, British scientists have found that 39 percent of participants claimed to have memories from age 2 or younger. These first memories are likely false, the researchers said. This was particularly the case for middle -aged and older adults. For the study, researchers as
19、ked participants to describe their first memory and the age at which it occurred. Participants were told they had to be sure the memory was the one that had happened.
