This research article examines the accuracy of long-term memory for documented child sexual abuse (CSA) and its predictors. The study found that severity of PTSD symptoms was positively associated with memory accuracy. Individuals who identified CSA as their most traumatic life event had relatively accurate memories regardless of PTSD indicators. Maternal support was also a significant predictor of memory accuracy. The study highlights the importance of understanding the traumatic impact of events in predicting long-term memory accuracy for CSA.
