This study compared the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-III (WISC-III) scores of traumatized youth with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to the scores of trauma-exposed and nonexposed comparison groups without PTSD. All groups were free of additional major childhood psychiatric disorders. The PTSD group scored significantly lower than the comparison groups on verbal subtests, but not on performance subtests. The scores of the trauma-exposed PTSD negatives and nontrauma exposed controls were not significantly different. Accordingly, PTSD and not a history of trauma exposure in the absence of PTSD was associated with lower verbal IQ.
本研究比较了患有创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)的受创伤青少年的韦氏儿童智力量表第三版(WISC - III)得分与未患PTSD的受创伤和未受创伤对照组的得分。所有组均无其他主要儿童期精神障碍。PTSD组在言语分测验上的得分显著低于对照组,但在操作分测验上并非如此。受创伤的PTSD阴性者和未受创伤的对照组的得分无显著差异。因此,是PTSD而非无PTSD情况下的创伤暴露史与较低的言语智商相关。
