Inability of older kids or adults to remember anything before age of 3, hard to figure it out if the memory is true.

Encoding young kids encode memories differently than adults do, making it harder to access/recall because you no longer have access to those retrieval cues.

Thinking about thinking we can process information easily since we can think about how think, ex: i didn"t get that so i will have to read it again.
