Crazy Conclusions in Early Childhood

Well I have very specific memories from ages 3-5 and they couldn’t have been from someone telling me about it, so that can’t be right.

They may not be from someone telling you about it, but what you're remembering is mostly the previous occasions of recalling it. The original impression would be gone if it hadn't been occasionally reinforced by reconstructing it.

But that’s how all long term memory works, I don’t see what age 5 has to do with anything.
