Overview

Systematic review finds childhood trauma significantly impairs cognitive and emotional development, suggesting urgent need for targeted interventions.

Key Points

  • Childhood trauma is associated with significant deficits in attention and working memory, highlighting severe cognitive impacts.
  • The meta-analysis of 9 studies shows large effect sizes for emotional regulation and executive function affected by childhood trauma.
  • High heterogeneity in trauma types indicates various factors influencing cognitive and emotional outcomes among low-income populations.
  • Findings underscore the necessity for early screening and trauma-informed care to mitigate long-term developmental consequences.
