Howe and Courage (1997) argued that infants could only form autobiographical memories after they had developed a sense of self. This sense of self includes the ability to distinguish oneself from others and to have a concept of agency, which is necessary for encoding memories about one's own experiences. The other options (mental lexicon, working memory, comprehension of language, and self-schema) are important for cognitive development but are not specifically required for the formation of autobiographical memories.
