Children develop detailed memories for autobiographical events the way that adults do i. e. children can talk about specific events that are important to them. Joint attention infant and adult are both attending to the same object and the infant is aware that the adult is paying attention to the same object. Social referencing- using other peoples emotional reactions in an ambiguous situation. Children at age 1 can pick up on a mothers emotional cues to figure out how to act in a situation if they are unsure how to. By 2 years children can grasp peoples emotions and by 3 years children can realize that thinking takes place without physical movement/perceptual process. By 3 and 4 children use think and go to.
