Can you tell some of your conscious experiences from when you were 2 yrs of age? (I imagine the answer is “no”.)

We could come up with ways to teach a 2 yr old to discriminate red, but the neural pathways for some of the consciousness/awareness behaviors take longer to develop.  Especially the development of complex verbal behavior is important, as words are needed for covert self talk (thinking in words).  If you can think to yourself, “That ball is red. I like red.”  then you are, I think, “experiencing redness”.
