We examined the incidence of recovered memories child abuse in a large French general public sample (N = 3346). Of 905 (27% total sample) who reported having abuse, 211 (23%) that they had no previous memory of, with 82 these (9% 905) reporting did not know were abused beforehand. Ninety percent latter their when therapy at time. Those outside often discussions peers and/or media exposure relat...

BACKGROUND Studies in rodents and older humans have shown that the hippocampus-a brain structure critical to relational/associative memory-has remarkable plasticity as a result of lifestyle factors (eg, exercise). However, the effect of dietary intake on hippocampal-dependent memory during childhood has remained unexamined. OBJECTIVE We investigated the cross-sectional relation of dietary com...

Summary Memory for the temporal order of past events is a critical capacity; however, relatively little known about its development and processes that support it in early to middle childhood. The aim this study was examine children's memory real‐world events. Four–five‐year‐old ( n = 36), 6–7‐year‐old 45) 8–10‐year‐old 46) children participated week‐long camp at local zoo, which involved engagi...

This commentary discusses David Edwards’s (2022) case study of "Kelly’s circle safety and healing: An extended schema therapy narrative interpretative investigation," published in Pragmatic Case Studies Psychotherapy. It examines efforts to integrate his imagistic/experiential therapeutic approach a client’s maladaptive schemas based childhood recollections with contemporary model autobiographi...

A number of theories posit a relationship between autobiographical memory and identity. To test this we assessed the status of autobiographical memory and identity in 20 individuals with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and 20 age-matched controls, and investigated whether degree of autobiographical memory impairment was associated with changes in identity. Two tests of autobiographical memory (Autobio...

If recovered memory experiences appear counter-intuitive, this is in part due to misconceptions about trauma and memory, and to a failure to adopt a comprehensive model of memory that distinguishes personal semantic memory, autobiographical event memory, and memory appraisal. Memory performance is generally superior when events, including traumas, are central to identity. Prolonged trauma in ch...

The neurocognitive function and quality of life of 58 Korean survivors of childhood medulloblastoma were assessed after surgery, cranial radiation and chemotherapy. All patients were evaluated with a battery of neurocognitive function tests and the Pediatric Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Brain Tumor Survivors, which consists of self-report questionnaires on quality of life. The mean f...

Evidence suggests a causal role for trauma in psychosis, particularly for childhood victimization. However, the establishment of underlying trauma-related mechanisms would strengthen the causal argument. In a sample of people with relapsing psychosis (n = 228), we tested hypothesized mechanisms specifically related to impaired affect regulation, intrusive trauma memory, beliefs, and depression....

This large-scale study examined the development of time-based prospective memory (PM) across childhood and the roles that working memory updating and time monitoring play in driving age effects in PM performance. One hundred and ninety-seven children aged 5 to 14 years completed a time-based PM task where working memory updating load was manipulated within individuals using a dual task design. ...

INTRODUCTION In temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), about 30% of the patients do not achieve adequate pharmacologic control of refractory crises, and surgery becomes an alternative. In ablative interventions, neuropsychologic testing of memory is a crucial step. However, evaluations of the right hippocampal functions have not been consistent. AIM To assess the hippocampal function in remote orienta...
