Are there some years or decades of your life that you have more memories of and some that you have less memories of?

I was just looking back and I have a lot of memories from my childhood all the way through to my late 30s but I have less memories of my 40s. It’s probably because my 40s were my busiest time in my life.

Have you experienced this?

Oh yes. I think it’s not about brain function but about what the brain is concentrating on. When my kids were little I hardly ever listened to new music or saw a non-children’s movie. So my recollection of cultural events in those years is rather poor.
