This is a selective review of the impressive progress that has been made in the development of memory abilities in preverbal infants and children. The authors conclude that the basic processes needed to encode, store and retrieve information are present very early in life and that although significant developmental advances take place across early childhood, many of the processes that govern memory in preverbal children are common with those of verbal children and adults.

A comparison of the neuropsychological profiles of a group of patients with early-onset versus one with late-onset developmental amnesia showed a similar pattern in both groups with marked impairment in episodic memory and relatively preserved semantic memory. Morphometric analyses for both groups showed bilateral abnormalities in the hippocampus, putamen, and posterior thalamus, as well as in the right retrosplenial cortex. The study concludes that the effective age at injury for the syndrome of developmental amnesia associated with hypoxia or ischemia extends from birth to puberty.

A group of adolescents that were extremely premature at birth and one with the diagnosis of developmental amnesia were compared with age-matched controls on measures of hippocampal volume and memory function. The authors conclude that early hippocampal pathology leads to developmental amnesia only when the volume of the hippocampus is reduced below normal by about 20-30% on each side.
