Xenoglossy
What if you remember everything: everything you see, hear and experience (through all senses)?
If there is any explanation for xenoglossy, it may well be that we do store everything that we experience, but are ‘blocked off’ somehow from this experience the vast majority of the time.
Example: you can’t name all the books on your bookshelf, but can happily tell if a book has been added, and may even be able to say which one it is. Maybe.
Also - if you’ve learned a language for maybe a year as a child, can you dream in that language? Do you take it all in subconsciously, especially if that exposure was at an early age?11 Most studies into age effects on specific aspects of SLA have focused on grammar, with the common conclusion that it is highly constrained by age, more so than semantic functioning.
