Most adults find it hard to remember the
things happened while they were children. Now scientists have found exactly
when these memories d{#blank#}1{#/blank#}.
A new study has found that most
three-year-old children can remember a lot of what happened to them a year e{#blank#}2{#/blank#}, and these memories are still
clear while they are 5 and 6, but by the time they are over 7, these memories
become weaker r{#blank#}3{#/blank#}.
Most children by the age of 8 or 9 can only
remember 35% of their e{#blank#}4{#/blank#} from under the age of 3 according to the new
studies.
The scientists say this is because at
around this age the way we form(形成)memories begins to change. They say that before the
age of 7 children do not have a s{#blank#}5{#/blank#} of
time and place in their memories. In older children, however, the early things
they can remember become more adult-like in the way they are formed. Children
also have a far faster speed of f{#blank#}6{#/blank#} than adults. The discoveries
also help to explain why children can often have clear memories of what they
have done, b{#blank#}7{#/blank#} then forget them just several years later.
The children were organized to the
laboratory for the first time at the age of 3 and discussed 6 impressed(印象深刻的) things
from their past, such as the first relaxing trip with your family, the first d{#blank#}8{#/blank#} accident you
met, and the first day of school. The children then returned for a second s{#blank#}9{#/blank#} between the ages of 5 and 9 to discuss the
same things. The scientists found that between the ages of 5 and 7,the amount（量）of memories
that the children could remember r {#blank#}10{#/blank#} between 63%~72%. However,
between the ages of 8 to 9, the amount of memories that the children could
remember fell to between 35%~36%.
