Abstract
Measures of infantile amnesia and scores of several standardized tests of neuroticism from 3 groups of college students showed virtually no correlation. Because of the dubious assumptions involved in predicting possible results of this study from psychoanalytic theory, the findings may not be taken at present as evidence against any psychoanalytic postulates. They do, however, effectively negate an empirical association which had been tentatively reported by other authors. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
