The Effects of Childhood Exposure to Violence on Neurocognitive Performance in Adult Offenders with Pediatric Brain Injury: A Comparative Study Using Hierarchical Linear Modeling
Author(s): Chandler L. Yunker*, Kim A. Gorgens, Marybeth Lehto, Laura Meyer and Bruce Bender
Introduction: Research has illustrated the long–term risks associated with pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI) and exposure to violence in childhood, including cognitive dysfunction in the areas of executive function and memory. Many individuals in the criminal justice system present with histories of pediatric TBI and childhood violence exposure. Objective: The present study investigated differences in neurocognitive performance between justice–involved individuals with a reported history of pediatric TBI who were exposed to violence during childhood and justiceinvolved individuals with a reported history of pediatric TBI who were not exposed to violence during childhood. This study’s aim was to further explore the hazards of early childhood events on cognitive functioning in adulthood. M.. View more»
