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.
