Exploring how stress affects memory in adolescents

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This project investigates the relationship between stress and memory in adolescents, particularly focusing on those who have experienced maltreatment. It aims to challenge the skepticism surrounding the ability of maltreated youth to accurately recall their stressful experiences. By conducting a short-term longitudinal experimental investigation, the study will compare memory performance under acute stress between adolescents with a history of maltreatment and those who have always lived with biological parents. The findings could provide valuable insights into the cognitive abilities of these youth and inform interventions.
