目的：对成年人的研究报道了创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）患者在注意力、学习和记忆方面的变化。然而，很少有关于PTSD儿童认知功能的研究。本研究的目的是评估儿童PTSD.Method的认知：14名儿童精神科门诊患者与虐待相关的PTSD和15个社会人口学相似的儿童谁是健康的，并没有被虐待的认知状态进行了检查。神经心理学仪器测量语言，注意力，抽象推理/执行功能，学习和记忆，视觉空间处理，和psychological function.Results：儿童创伤后应激障碍的注意力和抽象推理/执行function.Conclusions：虽然基于少量的主题，这些结果支持儿童之间的认知差异，没有虐待相关的创伤后应激障碍。
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.
