My DD can remember way back and still surprises us with the obscure details even from incidents as far back as the twos.
For myself, I have no memory of anything before two weeks after my third birthday when my mother died - I can vividly remember several incidents right after that. It sucks. I have no memories whatsoever of my mother. Apparently, I could read my grandfather articles from the newspaper by 2 but then completely forgot even how to read until about 7 having been raised in a home with NT cousins from that point on. Perhaps it is/was hysteria that shut the memories off - who knows....
