Abstract
This study examines the relationship between cognitive function (memory, attention, and executive function), as it relates to posttraumatic stress disorder and immunity (as measured by white blood cells) following a potentially traumatic experience (PTE). Sleep and perceived stress are examined as potential mediators of this relationship.
