I feel like no one is gonna read this, but here is an explanation in case anyone is curious!

    Okay so for starters, remembering shit happens in three stages. First, you encode, or experience, the information. Next, you store the information. This is the process through which your brain chooses from the short-term memories you've encoded what it wants to store in long-term memory. It also decides what it wants to discard. Finally, you retrieve the information. Long-term memories that are older and haven't been retrieved in a while could require cues, like smells and sounds, to be retrieved.

    Visual encoding, or any form of long-term encoding, is very limited at a young age. There's a pretty solid and widely accepted theory that your brain has a capacity, which grows as you (and your brain) grow. Our brains are especially talented at encoding pictures, more so than any other form of long-term memory. Think remembering the position of a card in Matching Pairs, vs remembering the order of every item in a grocery list.

     Between the ages of 2 and 4 years, aka early childhood, you can store memories, but they are more limited and especially difficult to recall without cues. During this age range, your strongest memories will be visual. The most common visual memory would be a picture, but there is a chance that someone would have a flashbulb memory-- basically a brief memory of an event so traumatic that your brain just finds room for it.

     This means that most of the time, you either form still visual memories or semantic/motor memories between the ages of 2 and 4. Until the age of 7, vivid episodic memories are going to be pretty rare, likely due to the capacity of a child's brain.
