ABSTRACT-In recent years, society has been stunned by
high-profile cases in which adults allege they were
sexually victimized in childhood. A crucial issue in these
cases is how accurately adults remember the traumatic
childhood experiences. In this article, we examine the
predictors of the accuracy of adults' long-terna memory
far maltreatment and events related to the maltreatment
experienced in childhood. First, Ire discuss memory for
negative or threatening information and how child mal-
treatment may affect memory. Second, we highlight
methodological challenges inherent in this scientific
inquiry. Third, we describe the findings front our longitu-
dinal research on the accuracy of adults' memory for
child abuse and for subsequent involvement in the legal
system. We conclude that, overall, the greater the trau-
matic impact experienced, the more accurate the later
memory, although factors related to development, individ-
ual differences, and intenietes moderate the effects of
childhood trauma on the accuracy glad:tits' memory.

Developmental [Nychologists have long been interested in adults'
memory for childhood experiences. But research on the accuracy
of adults' memory for traumatic childhood events is now vital as
society struggles with the aftermath of shocking cases of past sex-
ual abuse of children. Alleged perpetrators in these cases involve
such prominent figures as Michigan State athletic physician
Larry Nassar. Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Den-
nis Hastert, and Penn State University football coach Jerry San-
dusky, as well as disparate Catholic priests. Such cases feature
prosecutions that commence years after the alleged sexual
assaults occurred. In light of widespread recognition that chil-
dren infrequently disclose sexual abuse before adulthood (Lon-
don, Bruck, Ceti, & Shuman. 2005). the statutes of limitation for
sex crimes against children have been extended, paused, or abol-
ished in many countries and US. jurisdictiom. permitting accu-
sations of decades-old abuse to be brought to criminal and civil
courts despite long delays that can erode memory.
The accuracy of adults' memory for sexual abuse in childhood
is particularly important because the victim's word is typically
pitted against that of the accused. In cases brought to trial dec-
ades after the events are alleged to have occurred, forgetting is
to be expected. Nevertheless, long-tern memory is affected by
many factors. In this review, we seek to identify these factors in
individuals with documented histories of maltreatment as chil-
dren. We are particularly interested in such questions as: How
well do adults with histories of trauma remember significant
childhood experiences? Does the traumatic impact of the event
matter for subsequent memory? Does trauma-related psy-
chopathology predict accuracy of memory. memory error, or
both? Do individual differences shape long-term memory for
childhood trauma?
In this article, first, we briefly describe the reseanth on mem-
o:y of negative emotional experiences and theoretical models of
consequences of maltreatment. Second, we highlight the
methodological challenges inherent in this scientific inquiry.
Finally. we review the findings from our longitudinal studies that
address the aforementioned questions.

MEMORY OF NEGATIVE EMOTIONAL INFORMATION
A useful starting point for understanding memory of childhood
traumas is research on how negative emotional information is
remembered in general (McGaugh. 2018). In contrast to our lon-
gitudinal studies, this larger body of research has generally not
focused on memory of events that threaten (or potentially threa-
ten) physical or psychological safety (e.g., child sexual abuse) or
stressful experiences related directly to such events (e.g.. foren-
sic medical exams, courtroom testimony). Nonetheless, the fiml-
ings are important to understand how distress may affect
memory. Although not entirely uniform, this work largely sug-
gests that memory is stronger for highly negative emotional
events than for neutral or less emotional events (Bowen. I:ark,
& Bensinger, 2017), and more recently, that survival relevance
(i.e., the need to escape or prevent threats to survival) also nicks
memory (Nairn & Pandenrada, 2016).
Stronger memory for negative emotional than nonemotional
infoimation results. in part, from activation of the prefrontal-hip-
pmampal-amygdala complex, which enhances attention and
encoding, and hence improves later memory (e.g.. Canli. Thao,
Brewer. Gabrieli, & Cahill, 2000). 'This activation also con-
tributes to tunneling attention toward the most important compo-
nents of the stressful event, leading to enhanced memory for
those components but weaker memory for peripheral details
(Christianson, 1992). Forgetting and ermrs still occur. but they
typically do so to a lesser extent than for memory of less nega-
tive events, even in children (Chart et al.. 2018).
However, these findings may not generalize completely to
adults' memories of negative, personally threatening experi-
ences—particularly from childhood. Childhood trauma itself
can have a host of sequelae (e.g., depression) that. as we show,
have implications for memory. Other characteristics related to
individual differences, some also linked to childhood. may
shape accuracy, and possibly errors, when recounting negative
experiences.
EFFECTS OF CHILDHOOD MALTREATMENT ON
MEMORY
Given that most of our work has focused on maltreatment as the
source of childhood trauma, models of the effects of maltreat-
ment on children's development need to be considered. The
most pmminent view has been an impairment model, in which
maltreatment causes deficits or distortions in cognitive and
socimmotional processes, as well as impairments or alterations
in neurobiology (Lomat & Gunnar, 2010) and brain develop-
ment (I'eicher et al., 2093), which might affect memory. An
alternative view is the conditional adaptation model, which
emphasizes that maltreatment in childhood results in specialized
mental functions that are adapted to threatening and stressful
environments (e.g., Ayoub & Fischer, 200(k Fmnkenhuis & de
Went, 2013). This specialization does not necessarily alter
basic associative processes that can affect memory, which
appear comparable for children with and without histories of
maltreatment (Howe. Citchetti, Toth, & Cerrito. 2004). Instead,
the specialization may lead to heightened attention and hence
memory for specific types of information. Notably, children
raised in hostile and violent homes are particularly attuned to
detecting threat: Children with histories of maltreatment (com-
pared to children without such histories) identify angry faces
sooner, label fearful faces faster, and orient longer to anger cues
(e.g., Masten et al.. 2008: Pollak & Sidra, 2002), suggesting
hypervigilance to threat-related stimuli (Damdowski et al.,
2013) beyond normative preferential processing of negative and
threatening information (Windmann & Kruger. 1998). Hypervig-
fiance, in turn. can contribute to amplified encoding and mem-
ory for such information (Goodman. Quas, & Ogle, 2010). In our
longitudinal research, we found some support for that possibility,
although individual differences, most noteworthy in attachment-
related coping (Bowlby, 1969), moderated these relations.
In contrast to positive associations between child maltreat-
ment and accuracy of memory for negative and threat-related
information, inaccuracies in memory also emerge. but at times
in relation to psychopathology likely resulting from childhood
trauma. and surprisingly. for positive information. Specifically,
when memory• is compared in individuals with and without histo-
ries of child maltreatment, memory deficits (e.g., commission
errors) for positive stimuli are associated with trauma-related
psychopathology. This pattern was seen in a study comparing
accuracy of and errors in memory• in 9- to 15-year-olds with or
without histories of maltreatment (McWilliams, Harris. & Good-
man, 2014). The youth watched a film clip about a positive or a
negative family interaction, and then answered questions testing
their memory. Younger age and higher levels of trauma-related
psychopathology (a composite measure of symptoms of anxiety,
depression. posttraumatic stress, anger, and dissociation) pre-
dicted commission errors to direct questions after the youth
viewed the positive family interaction but not after they saw the
negative family interaction. These effects were significant even
when IQ was controlled statistically (cf. Young & Widom,
2014). Arguably, this pattern fits with the conditional adaptation
model.
METHODOLOGICAL CHALLENGES OF RESEARCH ON
CHILDHOOD MALTREATMENT
Numerous methodological challenges arise when studying mem-
ories of child maltreatment. One challenge concerns causal
inference. We cannot randomly assign children to maltreatment
versus nonmaltreatment groups, and correlational findings are
plagued by potentially confounding variables. such as family
dysfunction, preexisting child effects, socioeconomic and cul-
tural factors. community influences. and interventions. All these
can affect memory performance. Quasi-experimental designs
help control for some but not all possible confounds.

Trauma and Long-Term Memory I 3
Other challenges include misclassification. Misclassifications
can occur when attempting to compare samples of maltreated
and nonmahreated children. Some studies classify children or
adults into designated groups according to self-reports (e.g.,
regarding history of maltreatment or diagnosis of psychopathol-
ogy: Bremner, 2006), which typically involves memory. Classifi-
cations become even more challenging when relying on
memories of severity, chmnirity. and age at first occurrence.
which likely influence long-term memory of the abuse. Other
studies rely on official reports. but for many child victims, what
happened to them is never reported to authorities, so official
reports capture just the tip of the iceberg. Furthermore, children
who have arguably suffered the most severe maltreatment.
resulting in permanent removal from home, may not be included
in child maltreatment samples (but see Eisen, Goodman. Qin.
Davis, & Crayton, 2007: Masten et al., 2008; Mefinder, Barr-
gemd. (menstad, & Goodman, 2013), likely limiting the upper
range of psychopathology symptoms studied. Finally, especially
for longitudinal research, attrition can affect representativeness
of samples of adults. Finding would likely he less murky if
these unavoidable sampling problems did not exist.
Another set of challenges concerns disentangling the effects of
victimization. The common occurrence of polyvictimization (i.e.,
experiencing many forms of child maltreatment; Finkelhor, Shat-
tuck. 'Punier, Onnmd, & Hamby, 2011) and the risk that victims
of maltreatment will be revictimized (e.g., West, Williams, &
Siegel. anno) make it important to separate effects of different
subtypes of maltreatment or cumulative trauma on memory (Bar-
nett, Manly. & Cicchetti. 1993). A dimensional approach that
consider both the level of risk and level of deprivation offers a
promising alternative (McLaughlin & Sheridan. 2016). Moreover.
for many types of maltreatment, such as child sexual abuse. acts
vary considerably (e.g.. having someone expose himself com-
pared to being sexually assaulted at gunpoint) in their likely
effects on memory. Defining the severity of the acts is also chal-
lenging (e.g., is long-term incest that results in pregnancy more
or less severe than stranger kidnapping with violent rape?).
METHODOLOGICAL CHALLENGES IN THE STUDY OF
LONG-TERM MEMORY OF TRAUMATIC CHILDHOOD
EVENTS
Many challenges arise in relation to a focus on long-term mem-
ory. First, to determine accuracy, an objective record of what
actually occurred is crucial. However, the original documenta-
tion of the events may he incorrect or incomplete. Secoml, psy-
chopathology and child trauma, such as abuse. are typically
entwined, so the supposed effects of child maltreatment on
memory may actually be the effects of psychopatholog, with
sonte psyrhopathologies contributing to false reports and inaccu-
racies in memory, but others supporting accuracy of memory
and resistance to false suggestion (Goodman et al.. 2010). Add-
ing to the complexity, child maltreatment is associated with
different types and degrees of later adult psychopathology,
including heightened symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder
(PTSD) and depression (Browne & Finkelhor, 1986). Tus,
effects of child maltreatment and psychopathology should be
distinguished. including the specific forts of psychopathology,
as should whether subclinical symptoms or diagnoses are being
studied.
Third, largely for ethical reasons, we do not study the effects
of highly suggestive tactics, such as those used in studies of
false memory, on individuals who have been maltreated in
childhood (Loftus & Pickrell, 1995; Shaw & Porter, 2015).
Fourth. because our work has focused on memory for child
abuse and abuse-related experiences, when we refer to child-
hood trauma. we primarily mean exposure to child maltreatment
or related medical and legal events. Researchers should test
whether our fimlings and models extend to accuracy of (and
errors in) memory for other kinds of childhood traumas (e.g.,
injury, exposure to domestic violence).
PREDICTORS OF MEMORY FOR THREATENING
EVENTS
With these complexities in mind, we turn to possible predictors
of long-term memory of child maltreatment: Age at maltreat-
ment. type of abuse, traumatic impact (e.g.. was the maltreat-
ment the worst thing that happened in the child's life?),
attachment. and psychopathology.
Regarding age. being older at encoding (i.e., when the event
took place) typically predicts more complete and accurate mem-
ory (e.g.. Eisen et al.. 2007). However, when children experi-
ence negative or threatening events. age differences in accuracy
vary more, appearing and disappearing, presumably because
starting in the early preschool years. some individuals remember
stressful events that are personally significant or have had a
traumatic effect. whereas other individuals do not (Chao et al..
2018: Peterson. 2012; Williams, 1994).
With respect to type of abuse and traumatic impact. negative
stories, pictures, or films, although possibly distinctive and emo-
tional, do not generally lead to high levels of arousal (sometimes
they lead to none at all: Quas & Lerch, 2007), or the type of
encoding and mnemonic processing evoked by exposure to
threatening and traumatic events that put children in survival
mode. The latter likely occurs when children are maltreated.
Such events, if identified via self-reports or observation as highly
consequential—for instance, as affecting children's lives signifi-
cantly or threatening children's well-bring—likely are retained
in memory (Alexander, Goodman. Schaaf, Shaver, & Quas,
2002: Greenhoot & McCloskey, 2005), barring successful
attempts to avoid the memories.
Avoidance of memory is central to attachment theory (Bowlby,
1969). The expectations children develop about close others and
themselves shape how children react to and remember negative
events that activate the attachment system. Regarding negative.

threatening conditions. morn secure children are later mom
accurate and complete in their memory of the emotional or dis-
tressing events than avoidant or insecure children (Chat et al.,
201a Edelstein et al.. 2005). Parents' attachment orientations
also have implications for children's memories of stressful expe-
riences. Children of more secure parents have more accurate
memory of stressful experiences. whereas children of parents
who are more avoidant tend to have less accurate memories of
these experiences (e.g., Alexander et al., 2002). These effects
are less common in studies that tested memory for stories or
photographs than those that tested memory for salient personal
experiences (e.g., invasive medical procedures), probably
because the former fail to activate the attachment system and
hence do not evoke the same levels of aroma' and memory pro-
cessing or avoidance that the latter experiences do.
Although some psychopathologies (e.g.. schizophrenia), mea-
sured as diagnoses or heightened symptoms, predict less accu-
rate memory for certain types of information (Ragland et al..
2015). other i yelropathologies may he associated with more
accurate memory for negative experiences. For instance. symp-
toms of VISO include flashbacks and hypervigilanee to trauma-
related cues, both of which might maintain or reinstate memory
(Alexander et al., 2005). Rumination is a characteristic of
depression (Nolen-Hoekserna, 2000) and may involve rehearsal
for negative experiences.
LONGITUDINAL STUDIES OF GUILD
MALTRFATMENT AND MEMORY
We conducted two longitudinal studies to examine long-temp
memory for maltreatment in childhood and events related to that
maltreatment. Study I started as research on 4- to 17-year-ohls
involved (as alleged victims) in prosecutions for child sexual
abuse (Goodman et al., 1992). Documentation gathered at the
start of the study included information from police and prosecu-
tors' records, interviews with nonoffending parents. question-
naires completed by mareffentling parents and child victims,
and courtroom observations of the children. About 14 years
after the legal involvement ended (up to 21 years after the sex-
ual assaults), we interviewed more than 80% of the child vic-
tims. now older adolescents or adults (ages 16-30 years; Quas
et aL, 2005). The extensive original documentation allowed us
to examine the victims' memories of the abuse and the legal
ease.
Most individuals remembered their victimization (Goodman
et al., 2003). However, last memory (or at least failure to dis-
close) was also evident, with as many as 309E in some subgroups
failing to report the former abuse. Being older when the abuse
ended, experiencing more severe abuse, and having maternal
support predicted later memory. In addition, among individuals
who remembered (or disclosed) the abuse, unexpectedly, age
did not significantly predict accuracy. Rather, severity of rrso
symptoms and naming the sexual abuse as the most traumatic
life event (regardless of indicators of ITSD) predicted greater
accuracy of memory for the abuse (Alexander et al.. 2005).
These results show that understanding an event's traumatic
impact is important for predicting accuracy of long-term memory
for child sexual abuse. When we examined long-term memory
for other negative (and possibly traumatic) experiences that
resulted from the sexual abuse, namely the legal case, similar
trends emerged: Greater severity of abuse, closer relationship to
the perpetrator, and more frequent testimony predicted mom
accurate memory (Quas et al.. 2010). These findings suggest
that greater distress, like traumatic impact. is associated with
mom accurate long-term memory.
In Study 2, we examined memory in victims of child maltreat-
ment, including sexual abuse, physical abuse, or neglect, as well
as in individuals in a control group with no known history of
child maltreatment. The study initially involved assessments of
3- to 17-year-olds (Eisen, Qin, Goodman. & Davis, 2002; Eisen
et al.. 2007) who had been removed fmm their homes because
of suspected maltreatment and were placed briefly in a forensic
hospital unit, where evaluations included anogenital swabbing
during a medical examination. Three days after the medical
exam, we tested children's memory for the procedure. Both
being older and having experienced sexual abuse. physical
abuse, or sexual and physical abuse predicted greater accuracy
of memory for the details of the exam indicating both the stan-
dard effect of age and possible sensitization to threats and emo-
tions associated with past abusive experiences.
Nearly 20 years later, we contacted a subset of the child vic-
tims to examine their long-term memory for the medical exam
(Goldfarb, Goodman, Larson. Eisen, & Qin, in press). Last mem-
my of (or failure to disclose) being in the hospital was evident
overall in 17% of the sample. Almost half (43%) of the partici-
pants (now adults) reported they had experienced genital contact
during the medical pmcedure that took place when they were
children. Adults whose child sexual abuse was substantiated
and adults with higher self-reported symptoms of depression
remembered the exam more accurately than the other adults
tested. No participant falsely reported chargeable offenses that
did not occur. even though for half of the sample, researchers
had falsely suggested such offenses when they interviewed them
as children.
In contrast to the positive associations between accuracy of
long-term memory for child abuse and childhood distress—indi-
cated by. for example. repeatedly testifying, or having experi-
enced more severe abuse and traumatic impact—inaccuracies in
memory were also evident in our longitudinal studies. Consistent
with our findings regarding attachment, less maternal support
predicted memory ermrs for the former victims of child sexual
abuse: In Study I. adults who as children lacked maternal sup-
port were less likely to remember (or disclose) the sexual abuse
and nmembered the abuse less accurately (Alexander et al..
2005; Gmxlman et al., 2003; see Goodman, Quas. Rattemmn-
Farmer, Riddlesberger. & Kuhn, 1997, for similar findings

leading to suppression or forgetting over time. including into
adulthood.
Suggestibility (i.e., agreeing with an interviewer's false sugges-
tions) can be a source of memory ermr in the short and long
term. In Study 2, some of the most traumatized. dissociative
children, especially those who were quite young when the abuse
occurred, showed response bias, agreeing with misleading ques-
tioas (Eisen et al.. 2002, 21104 Furthemtore, as adults, some
participants erred in respowe to interviewers false suggestions
about events that would be expected based on general knowl-
edge to have occurred but that had not happened; for example.
when interviewers suggested falsely to the adults that during the
childhood medical exam, they received a shut, some of the
adults agreed. even though they did not make commission errors
to false suggestions about taboo acts that had not occurred, such
as being ha or kissed by the doctor.
IMPLICATIONS
Our work has psychological, legal. and social policy implica-
tions. First, our findings indicate that the core of childhood
events of psychological significance can be retained accurately
over many years into adulthood, but that individual differences
and interview techniques can affect the accuracy of adults'
reports. Second, our findings argue for extending statutes of limi-
tations that permit sexual crimes experienced in childhood, as
recounted in adulthood, to move into the court system. Think
scientists and clinicians who advise the fact finders (e.g., juries)
or evaluate or treat adults who recount traumatic childhood
experiences should be aware of the predictors of accuracy and
inaccuracy we have set forth here. And fourth. forensic inter-
viewers, courts, and legislators may want to consider our find-
ings in revising their interview practices, relevant laws, and
social policies when recommending how to evaluate victims'
claims and move forward once allegations have been made.
Given these implications and the scientific challenges of con-
ducting research on children's maltreatment. we encourage
replication of our work. However, that will not he easy: Longitu-
dinal studies are time-consuming. and access to samples of chil-
dren who have been maltreated is limited. Yet replication is
vital because of the importance of the findings for psychology.
law, and SIX•Irty.
CONCLUSION
Simplistic beliefs that maltreatment in childhood harms accu-
racy of memory do not conform to the data, nor do beliefs that
maltreatment in childhood uniformly enhances memory for
childhood events. Instead. the links between emotional events
and memory are complex. Our studies imply that factors related
to children's development, individual differences, and how
adults are interviewed help shape the long-term reports of mem-
ory, but that impact also matters considerably. For many adults,
the more traumatic the event (e.g., it was the worst thing that
ever happened) and the more traumatic its impact (e.g.. more
symptoms of PIIU, more depression), the more accurate is
their later memory of distressing to threatening childhood
experiences.
