The school psychologist and AP Psychology teacher in my highschool told
us once about an experiment he did in college with hypnosis and
age-regression. He was talking to someone who him and his partner had
hypnotized, and when they got to around the age of 3, the guy started
blabbering fluently in Spanish. When they brought him out of it and
asked him, he told them that his first language was Spanish, but that he
doesn't remember it that well anymore since he's been speaking English
constantly since then.
