#Why? : Season 1 | Episode 1

Memory wipe is a real phenomenon, and it’s the reason you can’t recall your earliest years of life. In this video, we uncover the brain’s hidden mechanisms behind infantile amnesia — the scientific explanation for why your memories only seem to start around age 3 or 4. Discover how brain development, language acquisition, and emotional processing play critical roles in how (and when) we start forming long-term memories. If you’ve ever wondered why your first steps or first words are a blank in your mind, this video breaks it down in a way that’s both fascinating and easy to understand. Whether you're a psychology student or just curious about how memory really works, this video will change how you think about childhood.🔔 Subscribe for more brain-bending science every week!#MemoryWipe #brainscience #WhyWeForget #InfantileAmnesia #neuroscienceexplained
