Researchers have conducted one of the largest surveys of people’s first memories, finding that nearly 40 per cent of people had a first memory which is fictional.
The study, carried out by teams from several universities including the University of Bradford, found that 38.6 per cent of a survey of 6,641 people claimed to have memories from two or younger, with 893 people claiming memories from one or younger.
This was particularly prevalent among middle-aged and older adults.
However, current research indicates that people’s earliest memories can only date from around three to three-and-a-half years of age.
