Questions are continually raised about the accuracy and validity of very young children's memories of traumatic events. Out of 19 children, where the median age was 2 1/2 at time of disclosure, 11 had full verbal memory, five had fragmented verbal memory traces, and three had no memory 5 to 10 years following day care sexual abuse. Data from this clinical study suggest the nature of children's memory is four-dimensional: somatic, behavioral, verbal, and visual. Efforts need to continue to document the nonverbal components for assessment and treatment purposes.
关于幼儿对创伤性事件记忆的准确性和有效性的问题不断被提出。在19名儿童中，披露事件时的年龄中位数为2岁半，其中11名儿童有完整的言语记忆，5名儿童有碎片化的言语记忆痕迹，3名儿童在日托性虐待事件发生5至10年后没有记忆。这项临床研究的数据表明，儿童记忆的本质是四维的：躯体的、行为的、言语的和视觉的。为了评估和治疗目的，需要继续努力记录非言语成分。
