Therapists who have used memory recovery techniques have often led their clients to believe that difficulties remembering their experience of sexual abuse may result from

A) anterograde amnesia.
B) positive transfer.
C) proactive interference.
D) repression.

Therapists who have used memory recovery techniques have often suggested to their clients that their difficulties remembering their experience of sexual abuse may be due to the defense mechanism of repression. However, the validity of this approach has been questioned by many experts in the field, as it is possible that the memories that are recovered may not be accurate but rather represent false memories or confabulations.
