Dr. Barbara Lavi answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Most people do not : Have conscious memories from age 1, however, with hypnosis people can remember early experiences. In all likelihood these memories are connected to significant experiences (possibly traumatic or with high anxiety). I had a neighbor who was on The Exodus as an infant and she had visual (nonverbal) memories that no one had told her about.
