The Importance of Childhood Amnesia

How does our brain choose to block or embed traumatic memories? This is a huge area of research in recent years. How do these theories inform childhood amnesia? Jen says, most of the research she did as a neuroscientist involved language processing in adults and studying impacts of brain trauma on disruption in language. So my knowledge of the memory literature is lacking and focused on adult memory. Since switching careers, I haven't kept up with current research.
