Abstract
Abstract This chapter investigates the possibility that chronic or traumatic stress may influence autobiographical memory development or memory functioning. It begins by reviewing the empirical literature regarding memory disturbances in children and adults with trauma histories. It then discusses one of the possible explanations for trauma-related memory patterns, focusing in particular on the hypothesis that they are linked to emotion-regulation processes. It presents research on these issues, carried out as part of a longitudinal study of family violence. Finally, the chapter revisits existing explanatory frameworks and attempts to recast them from a developmental standpoint.
