Our childhood has a formative influence and long-lasting effects on later life. In particular, traumatic events experienced as a child can shape the processing of new information and impact not only subsequent development, but may also leave marks lasting into adulthood. Individuals who have experienced great stress at an early age, such as abuse or loss of a carer, sometimes suffer from cognitive developmental delays as well as mental health disorders, including anxiety, eating disorders, and depression.
This Collection explores how childhood trauma affects both cognitive development as well as mental health across the lifespan. Work from developmental, clinical and cognitive Psychology will be considered for inclusion in this Collection.
