Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Autobiographical memory arises from a complex interaction among children’s cognitive, linguistic, and socioemotional skills and the way that adults talk with them about the past. Memories lend a sense of continuity to the present self.

Detailed explanation-2: -As we mentioned earlier, autobiographical memory serves the self in four different ways; it helps us guide future behavior, form and maintain a social network, create a continuous sense of self and cope with negative emotions and experiences (Pillemer, 1992; Bluck and Alea, 2002; Fivush et al., 2003; Fivush, 2011).

Detailed explanation-3: -Autobiographical memory is often described in terms of two types of long-term memory, semantic (knowledge about the self) and episodic (event-specific knowledge related to past personal experiences) memory (Tulving, 2002).
