Teens' memory under stress: study seeks truth behind maltreatment reports

This study looks at whether teens who have experienced maltreatment remember stressful events better than other teens. Researchers will compare memory for personal activities and images between 400 maltreated and non-maltreated adolescents aged 12-18. The goal is to understand how stress shapes memory, which could help make sure these teens' accounts are trusted and used to guide support.
