Tipsters interested in this issue should also note:
Clancy, S. A., Schachter, D. L., McNally, R. J., & Pitman R. K.
(2000). False recognition in women reporting recovered memories
of sexual abuse. Psychological Science, 11, 26-31.
The authors report that those women who reported recovered
memories of sexual abuse were more prone to false recognition in
other memory tasks and suggest that these women as a group may
be more susceptiple to memory illusion.
