Several students are discussing the controversy about recovered memory and false memory. Which of the following students provides the best summary of the recovered-memory perspective?
 
  a. Michele: According to this perspective, all memories that adults recover about childhood sexual abuse are inaccurate, resulting from source-monitoring problems.
  b. Magali: This perspective says that there is no objective way to tell whether recovered memories are accurate, so that individuals are advised not to be concerned about them.
  c. Greg: According to this perspective, childhood sexual abuse is so traumatic that people may forget those memories for a while, but may retrieve them during adulthood.
  d. Sol: According to this perspective, a recovered memory is actually a constructed memory, in other words, people revise the past so that it is consistent with the present.

Question 2

According to the discussion of the false memory controversy,
 
  a. we have extensive evidence that people repress painful memories and later recover them.
  b. in some cases, therapists have suggested that unpleasant events may have occurred during childhood, and people may mistakenly believe that they actually occurred.
  c. researchers have constructed a checklist to determine whether an individual is telling the truth about an early life event; this checklist has high validity.
