It is not the physical body but the soul that reincarnates and which contains the psychological impressions or vasanas/sankharas that influences the present behavior of a person.

BG 2.12: Never was there a time when I did not exist, nor you, nor all these kings; nor in the future shall any of us cease to be.
BG 2.13: Just as the embodied soul continuously passes from childhood to youth to old age, similarly, at the time of death, the soul passes into another body. The wise are not deluded by this.
