Resumen de Elaborating on Elaborations: Role of Maternal Reminiscing Style in Cognitive and Socioemotional Development
Robyn Fivush, Catherine A. Haden, Elaine Reese
Initial research on maternal reminiscing style established clear and consistent individual differences that vary along a dimension of maternal elaboration and that are related to children's developing autobiographical skills. More recent research has linked maternal elaborative reminiscing to strategic memory development, language and literacy skills, developing attachment relationships, and understanding of self, other, and mind. In this review, this research is placed in theoretical context by arguing for the critical role of reminiscing in developmental process and outcome.
