Abstract | The purpose of this article is to illustrate how findings in memory research can significantly inform our understanding of dysfunctional behavior. It will demonstrate that specific forms of memory, which are expressed through procedures or behaviors, reveal through their presentation information of diagnostic significance. From a neuropsychosocial perspective, this article suggests that the time at which early trauma intersects with the development of memory structures, systems and functions can be significant to the motivation of dysfunctional behavior.
