Abstract
The impacts of war and displacement on executive function (EF)바카라 사이트攚hat we might call the cognitive signatures of minds under siege바카라 사이트攁re little known. We surveyed a gender바카라 사이트恇alanced sample of 12바카라 사이트� to 18바카라 사이트恲ear바카라 사이트恛ld Syrian refugees and Jordanian non바카라 사이트恟efugees living in Jordan. We examined the relative contributions of poverty, trauma exposure, posttraumatic stress, and insecurity to variance in inhibitory control and working memory. We observed associations between poverty and WM, suggesting that, even in populations exposed to substantial violence and fear, poverty is a specific pathway to WM deficit. We did not, however, find associations between EFs and exposures to trauma. Careful distinction between childhood adversities may illuminate which neurocognitive pathways matter for measures of cognitive function.
