For a long time, the theory behind childhood amnesia rested on the assumption that the memory-making parts of babies' brains were undeveloped, and that around age 3, children's memory capabilities rapidly developed to adult levels. However, psychologists have recently discovered that children as young as 3 months old and 6 months old can form long-term memories. The difference lies in which memories stay with us. For instance, it appears that babies are born with more implicit, or unconscious, memories. At the same time, the explicit memory that records specific events does not carry information over that three-year gap, explaining why people do not remember their births. But why does this happen and what changes take place in those first years? And if we can form memories as babies, why don't we retain them into adulthood? Let's look at some of the research.
5文目の three-year gap の gap とは、ここでは、どのような意味になりますか。
