It has a name. I thought it was called 'collective' memory. .. But I cant find any articles or information about it.. So I guess it has a different name.
There were a few cases where children were successful in recalling the memories of their past ancestors.
How is that type of memory called? and are there articles about it?
UPDATE
For the skeptics, watch the few first minutes of this doc..(or all of it)

I did learn in my first psychology lessons about that memory. I cant remember wellthe case study that I studied.. but it involved a non-speaking German woman who after being hypnotized was able to talk German and recall her past life.
