自传体记忆的发展是一个渐进的过程，从儿童早期开始，一直持续到青春期后期。大量的注意力已经支付给早期的童年，当第一个人的记忆形成;较少的注意力集中在繁荣的记忆从学龄前后期开始。我们通过一项为期三年的队列序贯研究来解决这一空白，该研究旨在研究4-10岁儿童自传体叙事的长度、完整性和连贯性的年龄相关变化。我们还研究了独特的和综合的变化，在自传体叙事解释儿童自己的语言，母亲的叙事风格，域一般认知能力，非自传体故事回忆，和记忆特定的技能。在4-10年的时间里，自传体叙事技巧有了实质性的增长。非自传体故事回忆是一个强大的并发和交叉滞后预测所有自传体叙事措施。特定记忆和一般领域的认知能力系统地预测叙事的完整性和连贯性，但不长度。儿童的语言和母亲的叙述风格没有贡献额外的方差时，这些预测因素被认为是。研究结果强调，自传体记忆中与年龄相关的变化是各种领域一般和特定领域预测因素共同作用的结果。
Development of autobiographical memory is as a gradual process beginning in early childhood and continuing through late adolescence. Substantial attention has been paid to early childhood when first personal memories are formed; less attention has been focused on the flourishing of memories from the late preschool years onward. We addressed this void with a three-year cohort-sequential study of age-related changes in the length, completeness, and coherence of autobiographical narratives by children 4-10 years. We also examined the unique and combined variance in autobiographical narrative explained by children's own language, maternal narrative style, domain-general cognitive abilities, non-autobiographical story recall, and memory-specific skills. There was substantial growth in autobiographical narrative skill across the 4-10-year period. Non-autobiographical story recall was a strong concurrent and cross-lagged predictor for all autobiographical narrative measures. Memory-specific and domain-general cognitive abilities systematically predicted narrative completeness and coherence but not length. Children's language and maternal narrative style did not contribute additional variance when these predictors were considered. The findings highlight that age-related changes in autobiographical memory are the results of combined contributions of a variety of domain-general and domain-specific predictors.
