Abstract
Previous studies found an association between poorer executive functioning (EF) and Posttraumatic symptoms (PTS). This study extends previous findings by assessing three components of executive functioning, including working memory, flexibility, and inhibition, as well as processing speed while controlling for traumatic exposure.
