Some of the main cognitive difficulties are summarised in the following sections. For example, foster parents trained in Attachment & Bio-Behavioral Catch-Up, a program focused on responsive caregiving, were able to improve cognitive skills such as perspective-taking in children (Sprang, 2009). Ford, T., Vostanis, P., Meltzer, H., & Goodman, R. (2007). Taken as a whole, the literature suggests that children in care are likely to experience: (See Cook et al., 2005; De Lisi & Vaughn, 2011; Lansdown, Burnell, & Allen, 2007; Mc Crory et al., 2010; McLean & McDougall, 2014; Noll et al., 2006; Ogilvie, Stewart, Chan, & Shum, 2011; Perry & Dobson, 2013.). Some of the reasons for this include: Research in this area is conceptually under-developed. Specific difficulties, together with targeted strategies for their intervention, are described below. Studies of children who have been diagnosed with PTSD in the context of abuse also suggest they may experience memory difficulties, but the findings depend on the way memory is measured. This article examines the impact of trauma exposure; neurologically, physiologically, and psychologically. Neurodevelopmental effects of early deprivation in post-institutionalized children. Appropriate social boundaries can be reinforced using visual teaching aids such as circle diagrams that can be used to distinguish family from non-family, and friends from strangers. PTSD symptoms can be minimised by providing the opportunity for children to talk about unpleasant events, thoughts and feelings. Perry, B. D. (2006). In the meantime, all children in care should be offered interventions based on the best current evidence, and that target trauma symptoms and cognitive skills. The window of opportunity for addressing underdeveloped cognitive skills may be greater than previously thought. 2023 Australian Institute of Family Studies. Ogilvie, J., Stewart, A., Chan, R., & Shum, D. (2011). Out-of-home care environments may also inadvertently undermine psychological safety (e.g., through placement with strangers or other abusive children; placement in volatile residential care facilities; or placement without sufficient transition planning). (SAMHSA, 2014, p. 7). Cognitive flexibility and theory of mind outcomes among foster children: Preschool follow-up results of a randomized clinical trial. One reason for this is that there is no single measure or screening tool that can capture the full range of cognitive and behavioural difficulties found among children in care (De Jong, 2010; Oswald, Heil, & Goldbeck, 2010; Perry & Dobson, 2013; Schmid, Peterman, & Fegerd, 2013; Tarren-Sweeney, 2010; Van der Kolk et al., 2009). 2021 Jan 15;89(2):144-151. doi: 10.1016/j.biopsych.2020.06.001. Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are potentially traumatic events that occur in childhood. Neglected children and those raised in poverty may be more at risk of general cognitive delay than those exposed to abuse (Hilyard & Wolfe, 2002; McLaughlin et al., 2014). Caregivers who are raising children with cognitive difficulties can experience significant strain that can impact on their emotional availability and the quality of care provided (Octoman & McLean, 2012). This trauma-specific intervention has also been shown to improve broad aspects of executive functioning such as cognitive skills and emotional regulation (Cohen et al., 2011; Matulis et al., 2013). Caregiver emotional regulation has been linked to children's capacity for cognitive flexibility (i.e., the ability to rapidly respond and adapt to changing circumstances) in children exposed to intimate partner violence (Samuelson, Krueger, & Wilson, 2012). Longitudinal studies of pediatric PTSD are needed to characterize individual outcomes and determine whether current treatments are capable of restoring healthy neurodevelopment. In J. D. Ford, & C. A. Courtois (Eds). Early experiencesincluding children's relationships with parents, caregivers, relatives, teachers, and peersinteract with genes to shape the architecture of the developing brain. In other words, the evidence suggests that there are multiple factors affecting general intelligence development - in the context of abuse - besides trauma, and these factors include neglect and poverty.

Collectively, this research suggests that the brain development of children in care is likely to be affected in some way by their early experiences. depersonalization or . Seay, A., Freysteinson, W. M., & McFarlane, J. Children who have experienced trauma may have difficulty in fully experiencing some emotions, and providing an environment in which the child can begin to safely experience these emotions will be helpful. Children can find it reassuring to know that an adult can tolerate their strong emotions without becoming overwhelmed. Children with abuse-related PTSD have been found to have significantly poorer attention and executive function compared with a matched sample of non-maltreated children: they made more errors in tasks of sustained attention, and were more easily distracted and more impulsive than their matched peers (DeBellis et al., 2009; Nolin & Ethier, 2007). It relies on categorical, cross sectional and retrospective designs: this makes it difficult to disentangle the relative contribution of trauma and adversity, prenatal influences, genetics and mental health issues, and normal developmental changes in brain development (Pineau, Marchand, & Guay, 2014). 3 For a broader discussion of trauma-informed care see: Trauma-Informed Care in Child/Family Welfare Services (Wall, Higgins, & Hunter, 2016) and Approaches Targeting Outcomes for Children Exposed to Trauma Arising from Abuse and Neglect (Australian Centre for Posttraumatic Mental Health and Parenting Research Centre, 2013). Biol Psychiatry. While a few studies have found no difference in memory performance between children with and without abuse-related PTSD (e.g., Beers & De Bellis, 2002), other studies that use more realistic "everyday" tests of memory do show that children with PTSD secondary to trauma do have poorer memory compared with those without PTSD (Moradi, Doost, Taghavi, Yule, & Dalgeish,1999). (2014). Prasad M. R., Kramer, L. A., & Ewing Cobbs, L. (2005). Trauma and brain development was such an eye opener for me as a parent. Studies that address the relationship between trauma and cognitive development generally take the form of either neuroimaging studies or neuropsychological studies. Would you like email updates of new search results? Interventions, such as Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, that support children and adolescents to tolerate strong emotions are helpful, and can lead to improvements in self-control over time (Bohus et al., 2009; Steil, Dyer, Priebe, Kleindienst, & Bohus, 2011; Matulis et al., 2013). 2022 Nov 15;12(11):1553. doi: 10.3390/brainsci12111553. Dr Hendrix said: "The neural signature we observed in the 1-month-old infants of emotionally neglected mothers may be a mechanism that leads to increased risk for anxiety, or it could be a compensatory mechanism that promotes resilience in case the infant has less supportive caregivers.

Applying principles of neurodevelopment to clinical work with maltreated and traumatized children: The neurosequential model of therapeutics. The Australian Centre for Posttraumatic Mental Health (ACPMH) and Parenting Resource Centre (PRC) have reviewed practice and evidence base for intervention for traumatised children. Infants and young children with brain injuries might not be able to communicate headaches, sensory problems, confusion and similar symptoms.

For children and youth who experience child abuse or neglect and associated trauma, brain development may be interrupted, leading to functional impairments. Children in care are likely to have experienced a complex mix of neglect, trauma and adversity. 5 Positive parenting is "the continual relationship of a parent(s) and a child or children that includes caring, teaching, leading, communicating, and providing for the needs of a child consistently and unconditionally."

These studies don't generally control for other factors that can affect IQ scores, such as education level and presence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or depression, which means these findings can't necessarily be generalised to all children in care. Researchers have yet to develop agreed ways to define and measure complex trauma so that an evidence base for intervention can be established. 0 For instance, antenatal alcohol exposure frequently affects later cognitive functioning (see McLean & McDougall, 2014; McLean, McDougall, & Russell, 2014), but studies of children in care rarely report on history of antenatal alcohol exposure. hyperarousal, or being "on alert".

Taking into consideration the range of factors that are known to affect cognitive development, the broader literature on cognitive functioning in children in care suggests several areas that can be affected by childhood adversity. Neuropsychopharmacology. Some principles to keep in mind for supporting children who have been traumatised include: support children and caregivers to understand links between traumatic experiences and cognitive difficulties; develop and support positive relationships in children's lives; offer all children in care targeted trauma-specific interventions; maintain these interventions throughout childhood and adolescence; and.

History of maltreatment and mental health problems in foster children: a review of the literature. Difficulty with cognitive flexibility means that children may struggle with adapting behaviour to suit different settings, to transition from task to task, and to plan, initiate or complete school work.

Confirmatory factor analysis of the behavior rating inventory of executive function (BRIEF) in a clinical sample. Traumatic experiences in pregnancy and in the first 4 years of a child's life can affect brain development and have a significant impact on later emotional, mental and physical wellbeing and the effects can persist into adult life.

There has been a lot written about the effects that prolonged exposure to traumatic events is thought to have on brain development (see Atkinson, 2013; Cook, Blaustein, Spinazzola, & Van der Kolk, 2003; Cook et al., 2005; Perry, 2006, 2009; Van der Kolk et al., 2009). Exposure to trauma is common in children who have been placed in care (Gabbay, Oatis, Silva, & Hirsch, 2004), and there is increasing interest in the unique needs of these children. (2010). dissociation or lapses in memory. Just as each child will have different emotional responses to a traumatic event, the way that the brain responds to trauma will also vary across children. How does the brain deal with cumulative stress? While children in care are likely to have been exposed to trauma, they are also likely to have been exposed to a range of other factors that may impact their cognitive development. Special attention may be needed to maximise the positive aspects of family contact or to protect the child from ongoing exposure to trauma via family contact. In reality, this is almost certainly an oversimplification of the relationship between trauma and the stress hormone system (Frodl & O'Keane, 2013; McCrory et al., 2011; McLaughlin et al., 2014). In other words, interventions that target complex trauma may be necessary, but not sufficient, to meet the developmental needs of children in care (Zilberstein & Popper, 2014).

Children with this kind of difficulty can benefit from highly structured environments where expectations are clear. (2002). Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. On the whole, neuropsychological studies tend to show that children who have experienced or witnessed violence, trauma, abuse or neglect do experience cognitive difficulties in one or more areas, when compared to children who haven't experienced these adversities (McCrory et al., 2011; McLaughlin et al., 2014). In a child with traumatic brain injury, you may observe: Change in eating or nursing habits. Keywords: Examples include declining hippocampal volume, increasing amygdala reactivity, and declining amygdala-prefrontal coupling with age. Visual cues and reminders of the steps between impulse and action can also be helpful. Exp Neurol.

The neuropsychological impact of adversity can vary widely, however, and not all children that experience adversity go on to develop difficulties related to learning, memory and attention. Any placement of a traumatised child should ensure the child's safety and connect him or her to positive influences and relationships in the home, school, and broader community. The precise relationship between timing and nature of adversity, HPA axis dysregulation and impaired brain development is unclear, and can only be determined by ongoing longitudinal research (McCrory, et al., 2011).

Research suggests that the behavioural difficulties of many children in care are underpinned by cognitive vulnerabilities related to exposure to adverse and traumatic events in childhood. Much more research is needed to explore: In the research reviewed here, PTSD is commonly linked with cognitive functioning, suggesting that it may be especially important to address cognitive vulnerabilities in children showing signs of PTSD. Although the focus of this resource is on children in care, the principles stated here are applicable to other children in contact with statutory child protection services and other similar services, who are likely to have experienced a similar range of adversity. Epub 2020 Apr 25. ABSTRACT: Childhood trauma has profound impact on the emotional, behavioral, cognitive, social, and physical functioning of children. The following section outlines six principles that might be useful in supporting the development of cognitive skills in children who have been exposed to trauma and other adversity. Rehearsal and repetition techniques can improve children's difficulties with attention and short-term memory (Loomes, et al., 2008; Manji, Pei, Loomes, & Rasmussen, 2009). Provide safe environments and rich experiences that stimulate and enrich brain growth. Depending on the difficulty, children can benefit from training in the recognition of emotions and support with learning the name of (increasingly complex) emotions to increase their emotional literacy. Many of the assumptions made in this literature have not been subject to critical review, despite the influence of these ideas in shaping service delivery for children in out-of-home care (see Box 1 for an overview).
