问题     What’s your earliest childhood memory? Can you remember learning to walk Or talk? The first time you【C1】______thunder or watched a television program? Adults seldom【C2】______events much earlier than the year or so before entering school, just as children younger than three or four【C3】______retain any specific, personal experiences.
    A variety of explanations have been【C4】______by psychologists for this "childhood amnesia" (儿童失忆症).

    Now psychologist Annette Simms of the New York State University offers a new【C12】______for childhood amnesia. She argues that there simply【C13】______any early childhood memories to recall. According to Dr. Simms, children need to learn to use【C14】______spoken description of their personal experiences in order to turn their own short-term, quickly【C15】______impressions of them into long-term memories. In other【C16】______, children have to talk about their experiences and hear others talk about【C17】______—Mother talking about the afternoon【C18】______looking for seashells at the beach or Dad asking them about their day at Ocean park. Without this【C19】______reinforcement, says Dr. Simms, children cannot form【C20】______memories of their personal experiences.
