I was talking with a friend about this a few days ago. We were saying how we remembered things from our childhood, but I think that a lot of my memories are enhanced by photographs my mum has, rather than the memory itself.
My daughter vividly 'remembers' an incident in her childhood, but if you go deeper into it you realise she 'remembers' my version of things from when we've gone through photo albums. So while her memory is still there, it's clouded/tainted/enhanced by talking about it over the years.
