L., Wong, A., Gómez-Gutiérrez, M., Iglesias, A. M., Barón, S., & Álvarez, M. (2017). Stability of autobiographical memory in young people with intellectual disabilities. Anuario de Psicología Jurídica, 27(1), 79-84.https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1133074017300302http://hdl.handle.net/11212/4592The present study aimed to analyze the stability of the memory of a stressful event (medical examination within a hospital setting) over time in young people (age range 12 to 21, Mage = 15.11 years old, SD = 3.047) with mild or moderate intellectual disability (IQ = 54.32, SD = 13.47). The results show a stability of the memory of what happened an hour and a week after the event in relation to the people involved, the apparatus used, and the parts of the body explored. No interaction effects were found between the stability of memory over time and the level of intellectual disability. The level of disability (mild or moderate) only affected the description of the doctor who performed the exploration and the explored parts of the body, showing better results for people with mild disability. In addition, the results highlight the relationship between memory and IQ, especially verbal IQ.enInternational ResourcesSpainchild abuseintellectual disabilitymemoryresearchEyewitness testimonyArticle
