Human Growth and Development / Unit 5 HGD 0631 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Autobiographical Memory
Captions available
The idea
Autobiographical memory, memory of one's own life events, begins in early childhood and draws on language and a growing sense of self.
In practice
A parent talking through yesterday's zoo trip with a child: who they saw, what they felt.
Where people slip
Caregivers' past talk, elaborating on shared memories, improves children's autobiographical memory, along with socioemotional skill and self-regulation.
