The development of memory in children becomes evident within the first 3 years of a child's life as they show considerable advances in [[declarative memory]], a child's memory throughout their development.<ref name="Learning & memory">{{Cite book|title=Learning & memory|date=2003|publisher=Macmillan Reference USA|others=Byrne, John H.|isbn=0-02-865619-9|edition=2nd|___location=New York|oclc=49977789}}</ref> This enhancement continues into adolescence with major developments in [[short term memory]], [[working memory]], [[long term memory]] and [[autobiographical memory]].<ref name="bad">{{cite book|last=Siegler|first=R.

The development of memory in adults, especially older adults, is often seen more negatively. Most adults will face symptoms of memory loss in both their short- and long-term memory; Alzheimer's is a prime example of this.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Jørgensen|first1=Isabella Friis|last2=
Recent research on the development of memory has indicated that declarative, or explicit memory, may exist in infants who are even younger than two years old. For example, newborns who are less than 3 days old demonstrate a preference for their mother's own voice, demonstrating the significance of a strong and powerful connection to the mother.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=DeCasper |first1=A. |last2=Fifer |first2=W. |title=Of human bonding: newborns prefer their mothers' voices |journal=Science |volume=208 |issue=4448 |pages=1174–6 |year=1980 |pmid=7375928 |doi=10.1126/science.7375928 |bibcode=1980Sci...208.1174D |citeseerx=10.1.1.553.1738 }}</ref>

Difficulty in assessing memory in young children can be attributed to their level of language skills; this is because memory tests usually occur in the form of a verbal report. It is unclear whether performance on memory assessments is due to poor memory for the event or to the inability to express what they remember in words. However, memory tests assessing performance with a nonverbal photograph recognition test and behavioral re-enactment showed that children had signs of recall from 27 months, as opposed to 33 months using verbal recall testing.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Simcock|first1=Gabrielle|last2=Hayne|first2=Harlene|year=2003|title=Age-related changes in verbal and nonverbal memory during early childhood|journal=Developmental Psychology|volume=39|issue=5|pages=805–14|doi=10.1037/0012-1649.39.5.805|pmid=12952395}}</ref>
Autobiographical memory development is related to the emotional state of both children and adults. Professor Leslie Rollins et al.(2018), <ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Rollins|first1=Leslie|last2=Gibbons|first2=Jeffrey A.|last3=Cloude|first3=Elizabeth B.|date=July 2018|title=Affective change greater for unpleasant than pleasant events in autobiographical memory of children and adults: A retrospective study|journal=Cognitive Development|language=en|volume=47|pages=46–52|doi=10.1016/j.cogdev.2018.03.002|s2cid=149260200 }}</ref> showed that particularly bad experiences tended to degrade, to be forgotten, and were more related to difficulties remembering than positive memories.
