First seen Apr 04, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 4 times

Summary

This study looks at how stress changes memory in teenagers who have experienced maltreatment compared to those who haven't. Researchers will have 400 teens (ages 12-18) do activities that are either stressful or not, then test their memory for images and events over a month. The goal is to understand if maltreated youth have stronger memories for stressful personal experiences, which could help make their reports more trusted in legal and care settings.
