Abstract in brief

  • Autobiographical memory is a uniquely human system that helps people organize their past experiences into a cohesive life story, developing gradually from childhood through adolescence.
  • Its development relies on the growth of a sense of subjective self, which perceives itself as the same person over time, and is influenced by social and cultural contexts, including gender and cultural differences.
  • Interacting with caregivers, especially mothers who engage in detailed and evaluative reminiscing, encourages children to develop richer, more coherent, and evaluative autobiographical memories.
