How far back can you remember?

That doesn't make sense. You have other senses that did work when you weren't born. I believe that some people can vaguely remember that time.

Same here... I remember some stuff from when I was 2 or 3... but I'd have to think about it for a while before I'd know what it was.

Sometimes I see those tapes from when I was a kid, so I don't know whether I remember something from the tape or from my own head... if you know what I mean. Basicly what Mushy says.

Your memory is selective. You remember stuff that made an impression. The older you get, the bigger the impression has to be to be memorised...
