Abstract
This study sought to examine cognitive differences between suicide ideators and attempters in a sample of 91 adults with histories of NSSI. Results indicated that attempters performed significantly worse on measures of memory, processing speed, and verbal IQ than non-attempters. Results have implications for early identification of potentially suicidal individuals.
