This article makes an approach to memory as a
process that allows us to think about the future,
plus remembering the past, based on Daniel
Schacter´s research. To get to know this intimate
connection that exists between the past and the
future, a revision of the areas involved and the
components of the memory that intervene is
made, the fact of forgetting is approached as a
memory failure and, finally, the conclusions on the
subject are offered.
This paper makes a theoretical revision of the
relationships established by children at the
beginning of their lives, which positively or
negatively influence their development. It was
found that these relationships have a direct
influence on the notion a person has of him/
herself, of the world and of the others, and families
and schools play a protagonist role. Best teaching
practices can boost mental health in the children.
The conclusion is that establishing positive
relationships with the children is more important
than establishing prevention strategies.
