I have a memory of being put in timeout by my parents at a very young age, my guess is around 3 or 4 years old. I remember laying in bed and having my dad somewhat yelling at me; my entire family was getting dressed up for some event, I suppose I wasn't happy either about having to dress up or the occasion for which I was dressed up.
There was nothing monumental about this memory, it is just the first time I remember ever being in trouble. Still today, I don't like getting in trouble or being scolded for something I may have done wrong. I think constantly about what I did wrong and sort of beat myself up over it. I suppose I was the same way back then, which might be why I remember this particular experience.
This, I feel, relates to primacy and recency, as I can recall this instance of getting in trouble from long ago, as well as recent events where I got in trouble. There are plenty of times in between, I'm sure, that I cannot recall as easily if at all.
I have a comparable memory to this, but I was probably much older than 3 or 4. I couldn't exactly remember, however just reading this persons blog really surfaces some random memories. I think that sometimes I might form memories based on the prompt given. I can see myself from above in this memory, therefore I might be building the memory in on itself instead of truly experiencing it at the moment.
