It's actually referred to as Infantile Amnesia. It's caused by the underdevelopment of the hippocampus area of the brain, which is responsible for the storing and processing of memories. It begins development between 3-4 years of age. Although there are some rare instance when an individual can recall memories from an earlier age. The cause of this is unknown and some argue its a false memory that may have been triggered by a "cue" which helps with recall memory.
