Oliver Weinitschke Blog wrote a posting titled Remember: 'Slashdot has a fairly interesting discussion about human memory. [...] My memory seems to start at around age 3 with just a couple of imprints - cloth texture, a toy - no action, just objects. At around age 5 I remember neighborhood kids teasing me with a rubber spider, and driving my four wheel car. But it wasn't until age 12 or 13 that I managed to form the thought "I am".'
