I wouldn't want to remember every minute detail and can't.
I do, however, have my first memory dating back to being a baby in a stroller. When I told my mother, she said "It must be a dream", but when I described the apartment I was in and who was there, she knew it was real.
Certain items trigger reactions that stem from memory and that's enough. I don't like glass block because it reminds me of something from kindergarten, but I don't remember what. Same with those little peanut butter cracker sandwiches-don't like those.

I think the theory that the woman was "remembering" because of journals is apt; otherwise, she would have precise memories from at least the age of 5, when our brains have reached adult size and the memory process really begins.
