Children raised in institutions frequently suffer from a variety of behavioral, emotional, and neuropsychological sequelae, including deficits in attention, executive functions, disorders of attachment and in some cases a syndrome that mimics autism. The extent and severity of these disorders appears to be mediated, in part, by the age at which the child entered and, in some cases, left the institution. Here we review the neurobiological literature on early institutionalization that may account for the psychological and neurological sequelae discussed in other chapters in this volume.
在福利院长大的儿童经常会出现各种行为、情感和神经心理后遗症,包括注意力缺陷、执行功能障碍、依恋障碍,在某些情况下还会出现类似自闭症的综合征。这些障碍的程度和严重程度似乎部分取决于儿童进入福利院以及在某些情况下离开福利院的年龄。在此,我们回顾了关于早期福利院生活的神经生物学文献,这些文献可能解释了本卷其他章节中讨论的心理和神经后遗症。
