Roseanne claims that she can remember instances of childhood sexual abuse that started at 6 months of age. why are most psychologists likely to be skeptical of this and other such claims?

The reason for it is because the infantile amnesia considers to be unlikely that they are memories that are true in terms of the age of six months. It is because a person at that age is likely to be unable to retrieve episodic memories as this occurs often before the age of 2-4.
