Question: How far back can a person remember?
Answers:

It depends on many factors.Age ,health,and what type of memories are involved.
I would say 4 to 5 years old,anything else is wishful thinking or your own mind making it up.

Great question. i found the answer for you. Long-term memory kicks in after one year. Here is an article from the harvard Gazette for your reading pleasure (see link).

Seriously, I have a hard time remembering yesterday. I really have to think about what i did...CRS= "Can't remember ****" disease!!! Just joking about the disease. My girlfriend said that.



depends if your talking about short term or long term memory,
long term can remember years back, short term can remember 15 seconds



It varies. I can't remember what I had for dinner last night but I can remember my mum putting a nappy on me after a bath ready for bed. I guess I was about 2 years old.



Depends on the person, for me about 5 years old is my first concrete memories.



It depends on each person. The more you think of it the more you will remeber the things you did from that time to now ..



well i can remember when i was 2 or so swimming with my dad and watching my uncle play N64 :0

good memories

Year or so after they were born
