Been thinking about this for sometime. I try to think of my brain as a shoe rack with layers. And I like to think the topmost layer contains events that happened earliest in my life.
I try harder to push further to see if I can remember any events that took place before I was 3, but I just can't.
The only memory of an event stored in that topmost layer is that which happened when I was in nursery one.

So do you think some adults can really remember events from when they were less than 3?

They can remember just a fragment of such events while some can't remember at all... It all depends on individual brains

Is there a reason why those particular events stay intact??
Like my first memory which I mentioned earlier, I remember I was outside our classroom then(nursery 1).
It was shortly after our break time, we had had lunch and the classroom was all messed up and our teacher asked us to go sit outside so she could tidy up the classroom, so we were sitting outside and I was discussing with my classmate.

Now I'm trying to find out why that event has to be my only memory from when I was 3

Mine started at 6...there are some event that I witnessed then that I can narrate well
