DnD (Faerun) elves spend the first 100 years or so dreaming of/remembering their previous lives and the time their soul spent in Arvandor. It’s called the Reverie, and is one part religious experience, one part intense training/schooling, and one part idyllic childhood. Interrupting it is kinda a cultural no-no and something that most elves would be uninterested in doing.
Hey if medieval humands have to put our offspring to work in the mines, army, and fields by age 10, those lazy-ass elves can abuse and exploit their kids too.
In my head canon the people are sometimes just rusty and forgetful, because even if someone lives 100 year, that doesn’t mean that they will remember everything or get better at stuff. That is why I think immortal beings that live aeons, can still be surprised or tricked. Being old doesn’t necessarily mean that people are wiser.
Sometimes people just need the right motivation to improve themselves.

Yeah apparently elves have some perfect memory bullshit trait and only need 4 hours of sleep.
