Why can’t you remember being a baby? With Nicholas Turk-Browne, PhD

from Speaking of Psychology · host American Psychological Association

Why can’t you remember your first birthday party? Or the house you lived in at age 2? Nicholas Turk-Browne, PhD, talks about new studies that suggest that babies and toddlers may form early memories; why we aren’t able to retrieve them as adults; and how evolving brain imaging techniques could help answer these questions – and help us understand more about what it’s like to be a baby and how babies experience the world.
