Yes, I understand there is a timeline for different types of memories due to cognitive development, but we are talking about 2 different things. I am not referring to the type of memory (i.e. conscious recall) that IndestructibleGirl described in her post.
This is the research. Not just because I read reference to it in a few articles; that does not make something true. However, Alan Schore is a reputable researcher in the field and is cited by many.

In fact studies on trauma and dissociation have made important contributions to the distinction between declarative-explicit-semantic memory (i.e., conscious recall of traumatic experiences) and procedural-implicit-nonverbal memory (i.e., unconscious organization of emotional memories and storage of conditioned sensorimotor traumatic responses).
