Formy reprezentacji doświadczeń emocjonalnych w dzieciństwie i dorosłości: wyobrażenia czy narracje?

The form of a mental representation of the emotional experience in children and adults: images or narratives?The article concerns the issue of the form of a mental representation of the emotional experience from early childhood, based on emotionally laden events. I am referring to the research on children’s memory for emotional events and the studies of adults’ autobiographical childhood memories. I am seeking an answer to a question to what extend images and narratives can illustrate emotional schemes developed in childhood.
