True and False Recovered Memories Toward a Reconciliation of the Deb
Beginning in the 1990s, the contentious “memory wars” divided psychologists into two schools of thought: that adults’ recovered memories of childhood abuse were generally true, or that they were generally not, calling theories, therapies, professional eth

Preface
The volume editor for this 58th volume of the Nebraska Symposium on Motivation is Robert Belli. The volume editor coordinated the symposium that led to this volume including selecting and inviting the contributors. This year he had the additional challenge of a volcanic eruption in Iceland that disrupted air travel from Europe, home to three presenters. Fortunately all three were able to participate, in person or via streaming video, opening a new era in technology for the Symposium.

The debate on recovered memories has had significant implications for our understanding of memory, the law and, most importantly, the wellbeing of individuals whose lives have been changed by this controversy. This Symposium series is supported by funds provided by the Chancellor of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Harvey Perlman, and by funds given in memory of Professor Harry K. Wolfe to the University of Nebraska Foundation by the late Professor Cora L. Friedline. We are extremely grateful for the Chancellor’s generous support of the Symposium series and for the University of Nebraska Foundation’s support via the Friedline bequest. This symposium volume, like those in the recent past, is dedicated to the memory of Professor Wolfe, who brought psychology to the University of Nebraska. After studying with Professor Wilhelm Wundt in Germany, Professor Wolfe returned to this, his native state, to establish the first undergraduate laboratory in psychology in the nation. As a student at Nebraska, Professor Friedline studied psychology under Profess
