OBJECTIVE
Studies in adults have reported changes in concentration, learning, and memory in individuals with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, there are few studies of cognitive function in children with PTSD. The goal of the current study was to evaluate cognition in children with PTSD.
METHOD
The cognitive status of 14 pediatric psychiatric outpatients with maltreatment-related PTSD and 15 sociodemographically similar children who were healthy and had not been maltreated was examined. Neuropsychological instruments measured language, attention, abstract reasoning/executive function, learning and memory, visual-spatial processing, and psychomotor function.
RESULTS
The children with PTSD performed more poorly on measures of attention and abstract reasoning/executive function.
CONCLUSIONS
Although based on a small number of subjects, these results support cognitive differences between children with and without maltreatment-related PTSD.
目的
针对成年人的研究报告了创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）患者在注意力、学习和记忆方面的变化。然而，针对患有创伤后应激障碍的儿童的认知功能研究较少。本研究的目的是评估患有创伤后应激障碍的儿童的认知情况。
方法
对14名患有与虐待相关的创伤后应激障碍的儿科精神科门诊患者以及15名社会人口统计学特征相似、健康且未遭受虐待的儿童的认知状况进行了检查。神经心理学测试工具测量了语言、注意力、抽象推理/执行功能、学习和记忆、视觉空间处理以及心理运动功能。
结果
患有创伤后应激障碍的儿童在注意力和抽象推理/执行功能测试中的表现更差。
结论
尽管基于少数受试者，但这些结果支持了患有和未患有与虐待相关的创伤后应激障碍儿童之间的认知差异。
