Developmental psychology of memory

This is obviously a very selective list of sources, originally developed for my Honours course on memory in 2001.
I've now had a go at discussing some of this wonderful literature, in
    'Cognitive Conceptions of Language and the Development of Autobiographical Memory',
    Language and Communication 22 (2002), 375-390.
Do please email me with queries or suggestions.
