Parent-child reminiscing about past painful experiences is an untapped opportunity to process pain-related distress and, similar to reminiscing about other distressing experiences, promotes children\u2019s broader development. Previous research has documented the role of parent-child reminiscing about past pain in children\u2019s pain-related cognitions (i.e., memories for pain), but no study to date has examined the association between parent-child reminiscing about past painful experiences and children\u2019s broader cognitive skills. Design and\u2002Methods One hundred and ten typically developing four-year-old children and one of their parents reminisced about a past painful autobiographical event. Children then completed two tasks from the NIH Toolbox Cognitive Battery, the Flanker Inhibitory Control &amp; Attention Test and the Picture Sequence Memory Test, to measure their executive function and episodic memory, respectively. Results Results indicated that the relation between parental reminiscing style and children\u2019s executive function was moderated by child sex, such that less frequent parental use of yes-no repetition questions was associated with boys\u2019 but not girls\u2019, greater performance on the executive function task. Children displayed greater episodic memory performance when their parents reminisced using more explanations. Conclusions The current study demonstrates the key role of parent-child reminiscing about pain in children\u2019s broader development and supports the merging of developmental and pediatric psychology fields. Future longitudinal research should examine the directionality of the relation between parent-child reminiscing about past pain and children\u2019s developmental outcomes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jpepsy\/jsab006","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,31]],"date-time":"2021-01-31T15:07:06Z","timestamp":1612105626000},"page":"757-767","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Father\u2013 and Mother\u2013Child Reminiscing About Past Pain and Young Children\u2019s Cognitive Skills"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"46","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2784-9066","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tatiana","family":"Lund","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, University of Calgary"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5341-2517","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria","family":"Pavlova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, University of Calgary"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Madison","family":"Kennedy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, University of Calgary"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Susan A","family":"Graham","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Owerko Centre and Department of Psychology, Alberta Children\u2019s Hospital Research Institute, Hotchkiss Brain Institute, University of Calgary"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carole","family":"Peterson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, Memorial University of Newfoundland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bruce","family":"Dick","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine, University of Alberta"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Melanie","family":"Noel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, University of Calgary; Alberta Children\u2019s Hospital Research Institute, Hotchkiss Brain Institute; Owerko Centre"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,7]]},"reference":[{"issue":"4","key":"2021081118213218900_jsab006-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"286","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-0965(03)00027-4","article-title":"After the storm: enduring differences in mother-child recollections of traumatic and nontraumatic events","volume":"84","author":"Ackil","year":"2003","journal-title":"Journal of Experimental Child Psychology"},{"issue":"4","key":"2021081118213218900_jsab006-B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"34","DOI":"10.1111\/mono.12033","article-title":"III.
