Is this something the older ones recall because it seems the older you get what happened last week seems harder to remember rather than what happened years ago.

All those old soldiers seem to remember explicitly when asked about there war time capers and they would have only been 18 plus then.
Your earliest memory is not something that you begin to remember when you get older. You have always remembered it. Quite possible there is something wrong with young people's memory.
