2023年高三高考英语外刊阅读理解训练——早期的记忆是真的吗？
——改编自Are our early memories true
The authenticity of our earliest childhood memories has always been an intriguing topic. For many of us, our first memory might be playing with our friends or attending a birthday party. However, studies show that around 40% of people may have fabricated their earliest memory. It is possible to create false memories from videos or photos we have seen, or due to being influenced by someone else's story.
Our ability to retain memories from before the age of two is not great. Short-term memories do occur at this age, but it is believed that these memories are not long-lasting. This could happen because the creation of brain cells occurs rapidly in our early years. Some scientists propose that as we age, our childhood memories fade, and after the age of seven, a form of 'childhood amnesia' occurs.
Experts believe that our desire for a sense of self and personal history leads us to create memories to fill gaps in our understanding of our early lives. As we age, we naturally want to have a complete picture of our entire lives.
Therefore, when someone claims to have a clear memory from an age as young as one year old, there is a chance that the memory might not be authentic. While their recollection could be genuine, it is equally possible that they invented the memory later in life.
In conclusion, early memories are often treasured by individuals, but research shows that a notable proportion of people cannot entirely trust their earliest recollections. Although some factors cause infantile memories to be short-lived, the need for a sense of identity could drive us to create false memories.
