==Summary== The Working Group on Investigation of Memories of Child Abuse of the American Psychological Association reached five key conclusions:<ref name="Working Group">{{Cite journal |year=1998 |title=Final conclusions of the American Psychological Association Working Group on Investigation of Memories of Child Abuse |journal=Psychology, Public Policy, and Law |volume=4 |issue=4 |pages=933β940 |doi=10.1037/1076-8971.4.4.933}}</ref> {{blockquote| # Controversies regarding adult recollections should not be allowed to obscure the fact that child sexual abuse is a complex and pervasive problem in America that has historically gone unacknowledged; # Most people who were sexually abused as children remember all or part of what happened to them; # It is possible for memories of abuse that have been forgotten for a long time to be remembered; # It is also possible to construct convincing pseudo-memories for events that never occurred; and # There are gaps in our knowledge about the processes that lead to accurate and inaccurate recollections of childhood abuse.}}
