This book brings together scholarship that contributes diverse and
new perspectives on childhood amnesia - the scarcity of memories
for very early life events. The topics of the studies reported in
the book range from memories of infants and young children for
recent and distant life events, to mother-child conversations about
memories for extended lifetime periods, and to retrospective
recollections of early childhood in adolescents and adults. The
methodological approaches are diverse and theoretical insights
rich. The findings together show that childhood amnesia is a
complex and malleable phenomenon and that the waning of childhood
amnesia and the development of autobiographical memory are shaped
by a variety of interactive social and cognitive factors. This book
will facilitate discussion and deepen an understanding of the
dynamics that influence the accessibility, content, accuracy, and
phenomenological qualities of memories from early childhood. This
book was originally published as a special issue of Memory.
