Exploring the Impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences on Adult Everyday Cognition

This study compared ACEs, everyday memory and attention. Participants (n=176; 46% female) had a M_age=37.19. Although ACEs were significantly associated (p<.001) with both memory and attention, the strongest relationship was with memory (r=.39). Similar result (r=.53) was found for a four-item measure of subjective ACEs impact (alpha=.94) and memory.
