An item-cuing directed forgetting task was used to investigate whether women reporting repressed (n = 13) or recovered (n = 13) memories of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) exhibit an avoidant encoding style (and resultant impaired memory) for trauma cues relative to women reporting no CSA experience (n = 15). All participants viewed intermixed trauma (e.g., molested), positive (e.g., confident), and categorized neutral (e.g., mailbox) words on a computer screen and were instructed either to remember or to forget each word. The results provided no support for the hypothesis that people reporting either repressed or recovered memories of CSA are especially adept at forgetting words related to trauma. These groups recalled words they were instructed to remember more often than words they were instructed to forget regardless of whether they were trauma related.
采用一项项目线索指向性遗忘任务，以探究报告有童年性虐待（CSA）压抑记忆（n = 13）或恢复记忆（n = 13）的女性，相对于报告无CSA经历的女性（n = 15），是否会对创伤线索表现出回避性编码方式（以及由此导致的记忆受损）。所有参与者在电脑屏幕上观看混合呈现的创伤性词语（如被猥亵）、积极词语（如自信）和分类中性词语（如邮箱），并被指示记住或忘记每个词语。结果并不支持以下假设：报告有CSA压抑或恢复记忆的人尤其擅长遗忘与创伤相关的词语。无论这些词语是否与创伤有关，这些组对被指示记住的词语的回忆频率都高于被指示忘记的词语。
