Why Do We Remember things From Our Childhood?

I find my visual is not very good at all. Blurry at best, sometimes completely lacking detail.

However my sound playback is amazing quality.

I'd be interested to hear what other people's playback is like! Maybe we should start a new thread?

I'd be up for that, but you start it, cos usually my threads fall upon deaf ears (pardon the pun)

Yes, childhood memories are re-converted and re-processed heavily. What you actually experience is probably going to be dramatically different from what you originally experienced.

I know of studies where parents "planted" memories by mentioning false events during a casual conversation. Researchers then asked the children about the events several months later (I don't remeber the exact details, actually), and found that the "memories" were remembered as sensory events.
