The authors investigated the memory functioning of depressed women patients with and without a reported history of child physical or sexual abuse using J. M. G. Williams and K. Broadbent's (1986) Autobiographical Memory Test. Whereas latency to recall autobiographical memories was not related to reports of abuse, patients who reported childhood sexual abuse produced more overgeneral memories to positive and negative cues. In addition, patients reporting high levels of avoidance of spontaneous memories of childhood physical or sexual abuse in the past week retrieved more overgeneral memories to positive and negative cues.
作者使用J.M.G.威廉姆斯和K.布罗德本特（1986年）的自传体记忆测试，调查了有或没有儿童期身体虐待或性虐待史的抑郁症女性患者的记忆功能。虽然回忆自传体记忆的潜伏期与虐待报告无关，但报告童年性虐待的患者对积极和消极线索产生了更多过度概括的记忆。此外，报告在过去一周高度回避童年身体或性虐待自发记忆的患者，对积极和消极线索检索到了更多过度概括的记忆。
