Document Summary
Retain knowledge for a day or two (kick more even if no longer tied) Can"t be explicitly aware of our memories if we don"t have the language needed to encode them. Mobile kicking = explicit, another example is cortical maturation; hippocampus develops at end of first year. Scripts = a generalized, abstract, temporally and spatially organized representation of a sequence of events about some common routine with a goal. 18 months: first start to refer to past: usually refer to just-completed actions. 20-24 months: more extended references, some distant past. 2-2. 5 years: can verbally convey thoughts about past, through adult prompts and questions. 3 years: extended and reasonable accounts for their experiences. Autobiographical memory = explicit memory for specific points in the past, recalled from the unique perspective of the self in relation to others. Adults teach them how" and what" to remember.
