Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Infantile amnesia refers to the inability of adults to recall events that occurred during the first few years of life, typically before the age of three. It is believed to be due to incomplete development of the brain regions responsible for storing long-term memories during infancy. Therefore, Kevin's inability to remember the events from his family vacation at 2-1/2 years old is an example of infantile amnesia.
