Hello Dr. Goodier,
 
That is an interesting question!
 
I have had similar conversation regarding memories of  very early years of ones life, especially before one could learn to speak a language..
 
The collective input is that,  few  people do remember significant events, places and  people  from their very early years!  
 
 I do remember events, and places, people from my very early childhood..   I remember words from other languages that people used to speak around me  ( Those people spoke different languages than what my family spoke at home at that time..)  I do not know those languages well even now.  But know few words in those languages !
 
Hope it helps!
 
Regards,
Pavithra

Interesting topic for this forum.  Do any of you have very early memories, particularly from a time before you could communicate with language?
