Hi burgundia,
This topic is one that has interested me for a long time. I always wanted to know what a baby thinks about in its' cot.
I know that when we smile at a baby, sometimes they smile back and when we tickle and make faces they can even laugh. But do they remember this?
I can only remember from when I was three years old and that is sketchy, but I would love to do some sort of experiment where we can see what a child thinks about what is going on around them at such a young age and keep reminding them about it as they grow up.
Will they remember the incident, or just being reminded of the incident?
This whole topic fascinates me.
Best regards,
Steve

however I remember scenes when I was a few months old. I remember the face of my mother leaning over me when I was in a baby carriage. and other scenes when I was able to walk but not speak yet. I remember wondering why my parents were always buying me new shoes when the older ones started to become comfortable. However I was unable to tell them about it then.
