作者使用Deese/Roediger-McDermott（DRM）范式检查了284名受虐待和未受虐待儿童（6至12岁）抑制中性和情感信息的真实和虚假记忆的能力。孩子们在控制条件下研究情绪或中性DRM列表，或者给予定向记忆或定向遗忘指令。研究结果表明，无论年龄和虐待状况如何，儿童都可以抑制真实和虚假情感信息的输出，尽管他们的效果不如抑制中性材料的输出。言语智商与记忆有关，分离症状与儿童的回忆能力无关。这些发现增加了越来越多的文献，显示更多的相似之处，而不是虐待和非虐待儿童的基本记忆过程之间的差异。
The authors examined 284 maltreated and nonmaltreated children's (6- to 12-year-olds) ability to inhibit true and false memories for neutral and emotional information using the Deese/Roediger-McDermott (DRM) paradigm. Children studied either emotional or neutral DRM lists in a control condition or were given directed-remembering or directed-forgetting instructions. The findings indicated that children, regardless of age and maltreatment status, could inhibit the output of true and false emotional information, although they did so less effectively than when they were inhibiting the output of neutral material. Verbal IQ was related to memory, but dissociative symptoms were not related to children's recollective ability. These findings add to the growing literature that shows more similarities among, than differences between, maltreated and nonmaltreated children's basic memory processes.
