¿Por qué no recuerdas tu infancia?

The video explores the concept of childhood amnesia, highlighting how early memories are often confusing and incomplete. Sigmund Freud's theory suggested that childhood amnesia might be due to suppressed traumatic memories. However, it is now understood that this phenomenon is not solely trauma-related. The video discusses how false memories can form and why adolescence is a period of vivid memory retention due to emotional development. It also covers the role of neurogenesis and synaptic pruning in memory formation, explaining how these processes affect memory retention and loss in both children and adults.

What term did Sigmund Freud coin to describe the lack of early childhood memories?

• Childhood Amnesia

• Early Memory Loss

• Juvenile Amnesia

• Infantile Forgetfulness

Why are early childhood memories considered fragile?
