Keywords:
Autobiographical Memory, Development of Autobiographical Memory, Infancy/Childhood AmnesiaAbstract
Autobiographical memory consists of memories of one's own thoughts, feelings and behaviors in his/her own history. Autobiographical memory is an important concept in the development of the child in terms of various functions. The effect of autobiographical memory on self development is great. Autobiographical memory ensures the self-continuity of individuals, meets the needs of self-regulation. Autobiographical memory, through lessons learned from past experiences and experiences, makes inferences and planning about the behaviors of the present and the future. Autobiographical memory is also essential for social relations. The development of autobiographical memory, which provides continuity in our personal history, begins at the end of infancy/childhood amnesia where most adults cannot remember the first three-four years of life. Early experiences are critical in advancing age. Infant/childhood amnesia, which has a significant effect on adult life although it cannot be remembered, has been studied for a long time. In this study, autobiographical memory, development of autobiographical memory, and infancy/childhood amnesia were examined and some suggestions were made in the context of child development.References
