Children's Long-Term Memory for Autobiographical Events.
Peterson, Carole
Developmental Review, v22 n3 p370-402 Sep 2002
Traces the origins of children's autobiographical memories, discussing research on infantile amnesia and young children's memory skills. Focuses on studies of children's long-term memory for autobiographical events that investigate delays of 1-2 years and delays of 4 years or more. Reports that a few studies have documented remarkably robust recall after several years. Considers factors contributing to retention and presents legal implications. (Author/KB)
