====Social Cultural Influences====

[[Language]] and [[culture]] play central roles in the early development of autobiographical memory. The manner in which parents discuss the past with their children and how elaborative they are in reminiscing affects how the child encodes the memory. Children whose parents talk in detail about the past are being provided with good opportunities to rehearse their memories. The parents’ use of language at the time in which the event occurred can also play a factor in how the child remembers the episode. Cultural differences in parenting styles and parent-child relationships can contribute to autobiographical memory at an early age.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Fivush |first1=Robyn |last2=Nelson |first2=Katherine |title=Culture and Language in the Emergence of Autobiographical Memory |journal=Psychological Science |volume=15 |issue=9 |pages=573–7 |year=2004 |pmid=15327626 |jstor=40064143 |doi=10.1111/j.0956-7976.2004.00722.x |s2cid=12384439 }}</ref> Parent-child relationships have also seen as something that causes memory issues in adults as well.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Peterson |first1=Carole. |author-link=Carole Peterson |last2=Nguyen |first2=Duyen T.
