Merely for your consideration, I would offer that some of us remember scenes and sounds and senses like smell, without using language. I have very clear memories which date to before I turned two years old. I can claim that because of something that happened to me two months after turning two which are also very clear memories of a very negative type which left me with physical capabilities less than those of before I turned two. And there’s more, but that’s the stuff of other discussions.
I recall reading a very interesting study on birth and pre-birth memories that people are able to access under hyponsis. Traumatic stuff is remembered most clearly if I remember correctly.
