Childhood maltreatment and its effect on neurocognitive functioning: Timing and chronicity matter
Open accessAbstract
Childhood maltreatment represents a complex stressor, with the developmental timing, duration, frequency, and type of maltreatment varying with each child (Barnett, Manly, & Cicchetti, 1993; Cicchetti & Manly, 2001). Multiple brain regions and neural circuits are disrupted by the experience of child maltreatment (Cicchetti & Toth, in press; DeBellis et al., 2002; McCrory & Viding, 2010; Teicher, Anderson, & Polcari, 2012). These neurobiological compromises indicate the impairment of a number of important cognitive functions, including working memory and inhibitory control. The present study extends prior research by examining the effect of childhood maltreatment on neurocognitive functioning based on developmental timing of maltreatment, including onset, chronicity, and recency, in a sample of 3- to 9-year-old nonmaltreated (n= 136) and maltreated children (n= 223). Maltreated children performed more poorly on inhibitory control and working-memory tasks than did nonmaltreated children. Group differences between maltreated children based on the timing of maltreatment and the chronicity of maltreatment also were evident. Specifically, children who were maltreated during infancy, and children with a chronic history of maltreatment, exhibited significantly poorer inhibitory control and working-memory performance than did children without a history of maltreatment. The results suggest that maltreatment occurring during infancy, a period of major brain organization, disrupts normative structure and function, and these deficits are further instantiated by the prolonged stress of chronic maltreatment during the early years of life.

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
This cross-sectional study compared low-SES maltreated and nonmaltreated children aged 3–9 on neurocognitive tasks. Maltreated children showed poorer inhibitory control and working memory, especially when maltreatment began during infancy or persisted across three or more developmental periods.
Key findings
- Maltreated children had lower inhibitory control/working memory composite scores than nonmaltreated children (M = −0.11, SD = .85 vs. M = .08, SD = .82; F(1, 358) = 9.602, p = .002, η² = .026). No significant group differences appeared for memory, motor control/attention, or the overall cognitive composite.
- Chronicity mattered: children maltreated across three or more developmental periods scored lower than nonmaltreated children (M = −.42, SD = .96, p = .000) and lower than the one-period group (p = .05). One- and two-period groups did not differ significantly from nonmaltreated children.
- Onset and recency mattered: infancy-onset maltreatment was associated with lower scores than nonmaltreated status (M = −.32, SD = .91, p = .000) and later onset (p = .036); later onset did not differ from nonmaltreated. Nonmaltreated children outperformed both current-period and past maltreatment groups (p = .004 and p = .05), while current versus past maltreatment did not differ.
- Subtype count showed both one/two and three/four subtype groups performing worse than nonmaltreated children (p = .021 and p = .002), but the two maltreated groups did not differ from each other (p = .08). At age 4, maltreated children failed the tapping pretest more often (76.3% vs. 40.9%; χ² = 8.174, p = .004).
Methods
- Cross-sectional comparison of 3- to 9-year-old low-SES children from urban upstate New York. Maltreated children were identified through Department of Human Services/Child Protective Services records and maternal interview; nonmaltreated comparison children were recruited from TANF families with no DHS involvement. The abstract reports 136 nonmaltreated and 223 maltreated children, while the Method section reports 228 maltreated and 142 nonmaltreated children; follow-up analyses use 136 comparison children.
- Ten neuropsychological tasks assessed inhibitory control/working memory, memory, attention, and motor control. Standardized task variables were combined into inhibitory control/working memory, memory, motor control/attention, and cognitive function composites. ANCOVAs with age in months as a covariate compared groups, and follow-up tests examined maltreatment onset, chronicity, recency, and subtype count on inhibitory control/working memory.
Limitations
- Stated: the design was cross-sectional with assessment at only one time point, so developmental timing and change could not be directly observed; the author calls for longitudinal and fMRI research.
- Evident from the text: sample-size figures differ between the abstract/Method and the analysis samples; subtype analyses had a small three-or-more-subtype group (n = 34); the low-SES urban sample may limit generalizability; pretest failures excluded task-specific data; and causal claims cannot be established from the design.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-06, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-06 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
