Memory test.... How far back is your first memory?

I remember as far back as 3 years old. I remember playing with my bath tub toys and my 3rd birthday with a big yummy strawberry shortcake! (Which ended up mainly on my party dress) oops

    This is really a very good question of all I have responded yet. Your memeory can even go beyond your birth, I mean your previous life. Normally if born, u do not recall your past life.

    Biologically memory is very fragile and 99% of your memory is not retained by the brain. Memory is always retained if it has a special significane to you. All significant events in your early childhood will be retained in the memory but I think the capacity to retain is usually gained around 3-4 years of age.

    He wasn't very happy!
