No, you're not. I'm one, too.
Something else that goes into memory and when we begin to remember early experience is the maturation of a brain structure called the hippocampus. In average humans it matures around ages 3-5, but those are only averages. It appears that the hippocampus is responsible for place memory - that is, our memory of being in certain places when information enters the system. Until it matures, we may retain the information, but we don't retain a spatial setting for the receiving of that info. (So we know *how* to walk but don't have memories of those particular settings where we learned to walk.
