At this point in my life, I *may* have one or two memories from my early childhood, maybe one going as far back as five years old or so. Before probably 2 or 3 its virtually impossible for a child to physically encode any long-term memories, and those that are encoded quickly fade. But if you ask any 2-3 year old, they'd remember yesterday when they went to grandma's or played at the playground. What if a specific memory was "quizzed" from a child each day for a number of years, encouraging the child to remember it and constantly reaffirming it in their long-term memory? Would it be possible then to cement that memory fiercely from their toddler years, or would the daily process or remembering and revisiting it slowly morph the memory into something entirely unrecognizable and completely deviant from the facts of the original experience?
