Question

• childhood amnesia

• misinformation effect

• retroactive interference

• flashbulb memories

Explanation:

• Childhood amnesia refers to the inability to recall memories from early childhood (typically before ages 3-4), which matches Jordyn's experience.
• The misinformation effect involves false memories from misleading post-event information, which is not relevant here.
• Retroactive interference is when new memories disrupt old ones, which does not describe Jordyn's case.
• Flashbulb memories are vivid, detailed memories of dramatic events, which is not the scenario here.

Answer:

childhood amnesia
