Remembering and Forgetting Early Childhood

Our earliest memories are complex and ever-shifting. In a live, virtual Chats in the Stacks book talk, Qi Wang, professor of human development and psychology in the College of Human Ecology, and Sami Gülgöz, professor of psychology at Koç University in Istanbul, will discuss insights from their new co-edited volume, Remembering and Forgetting Early Childhood (Routledge, 2020).

Originally published as a special issue of Memory, the book deepens our understanding of the dynamics that influence the accessibility, content, and accuracy of memories from early childhood, and how the development of autobiographical memory is shaped by a variety of interactive social and cognitive factors.

A live Q&A will follow the talk. The audience is encouraged to submit their questions in the chat.
