Over the years, there have been discussions about what we humans remember and when that memory process begins. While most will admit to remembering things when they were 5 or 6 years old and then the older they get the more they recall, some suggest they can remember things much earlier.
Some work has been done suggesting traumatic memories seem to stick better than more pleasant ones.
At what age do we actually begin to remember things? And how do we distinguish between actual memories and memories of what we were told actually happened? Are we recalling the events or what somebody told us about the events in our lives?

Not sure what to do with this
The OP is concise and clear. But it isn't clear to me what it has to do with the evolution/creation debate. It is really a question in psychology and cognitive science.
Perhaps you can clarify how you believe your topic relates to the EvC debate.
I also invite other administrators to comment.

Re: Not sure what to do with this
Nicely written, but I do feel that the author needs to clarify his/her position or maybe the purpose in asking the questions.
