This practice paper provides an overview of what we know from research about cognitive development in children who have experienced trauma,1 and provides principles to support effective practice responses to those children's trauma. While animal studies have supported the basic premise of a link between early stress and hormone dysregulation, there isn't yet parallel research that demonstrates the impact of early adversity on human brain development (Moffitt, 2013; Shors 2006; Teicher, Tomoda, & Andersen, 2006) nor research that demonstrates the impact of interventions that target brain development. There is also some evidence that computerised programs that target social anxiety may be helpful in addressing eye contact aversion in children and adults. On the whole, children exposed to neglect may be more vulnerable to general delays in cognitive and language development (De Bellis et al., 2009; Hart & Rubia, 2012; McLaughlin et al., 2014). This floods a baby with stress hormones which is essential because now it's not having needs met as in the womb; thus it's got to protest so someone comes. Children with these difficulties may appear as though they are not complying with instructions, or that they are being wilfully disobedient.

Children who are placed in out-of-home care are likely to have experienced a range of early-life adversity. These findings suggest that youth with PTSD may have abnormal neurodevelopment in key frontolimbic circuits which could lead to increasing threat reactivity and weaker emotion regulation ability over time. Caregivers may need support with strategies to gain children's attention prior to engaging in conversation. P3b reflects maltreated children's reactions to facial displays of emotion. For example, foster parents trained in Attachment & Bio-Behavioral Catch-Up, a program focused on responsive caregiving, were able to improve cognitive skills such as perspective-taking in children (Sprang, 2009). Paradoxical Prefrontal-Amygdala Recruitment to Angry and Happy Expressions in Pediatric Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. At present, Trauma-Focused CBT is the approach that has most empirical support (e.g., Cohen et al., 2011). Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs is a psychological framework that describes human behavior and personal development created . compromised language development, including difficulty in the comprehension and social use of language despite apparently adequate verbal abilities. Abnormal structure of fear circuitry in pediatric post-traumatic stress disorder. At present, the evidence in support of the link comes mainly from studies of adults that retrospectively report a history of abuse, rather than from studies of children, meaning that other influences cannot be discounted. The short version of the Borderline Symptom List (BSL-23): Development and initial data on psychometric properties. This does not mean that complex trauma is not a valid construct, simply that there is a lack of empirical research in the area. For example, adults with a history of abuse have been shown to have smaller hippocampal volume - an area of the brain associated with memory consolidation (Hart & Rubia, 2012; McLaughlin et al., 2014; Teicher et al., 2012). trauma and brain development pyramid.

It will also suggest some principles that might be applied to facilitate children's cognitive development in practice. . Hedges, D. W., & Woon, F. L. (2011). Everyday memory deficits in children and adolescents with PTSD: performance on the Rivermead Behavioural Memory Test. Children who have experienced trauma may have difficulty in fully experiencing some emotions, and providing an environment in which the child can begin to safely experience these emotions will be helpful. Targeted supports will be most effective when delivered in the context of a supportive environment that is situated within a trauma-informed service provider that ensures all key adults in the child's life are also trauma-aware. There is reasonable evidence that memory is affected by trauma and adversity. Confirmatory factor analysis of the behavior rating inventory of executive function (BRIEF) in a clinical sample. Developmental Trauma is the childhood version of Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Indeed, children who are placed in out-of-home care experience higher levels of behavioural and mental health issues than children from similar backgrounds who are not in placed in care (Ford, Vostanis, Meltzer, & Goodman, 2007).

There is some evidence that social and emotional information is processed differently among children that have experienced abuse. (1995). Mueller, S. C., Maheu, F. S., Dozier, M., Peloso, E., Mandell, D., Leibenluft, E., Pine, D. S., Ernst, M. (2010). The potential impact of all these factors must be considered in developing supports for children in care. Young children who have experienced trauma may demonstrate a variety of emotional, behavioral and/or physical responses. hbbd``b`! We acknowledge all Traditional Custodians, their Elders past, present and emerging, and we pay our respects to their continuing connection to their culture, community, land, sea and rivers. Some of the reasons for this include: Research in this area is conceptually under-developed. Gabbay, V., Oatis, M. D,, Silva, R. R., & Hirsch, G. (2004).

Unauthorized use of these marks is strictly prohibited. The following section outlines six principles that might be useful in supporting the development of cognitive skills in children who have been exposed to trauma and other adversity. How has the COVID-19 pandemic affected young people?-Mapping knowledge structure and research framework by scientometric analysis. Prasad M. R., Kramer, L. A., & Ewing Cobbs, L. (2005). The CogMed program and the Amsterdam Memory and Attention Training for Children program (Rasmussen et al., 2010) have shown promising results, although they have not yet been evaluated with children in care settings. Trauma-Focused CBT (Cohen, Mannarino, & Iyengar, 2011); Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (Matulis et al., 2013); and. Epidemiological aspects of PTSD in children and adolescents. Interventions with young children in care demonstrate that continuous, consistent and responsive caregiving can change brain stress hormone levels (Dozier, et al., 2009; Dozier, Peloso, Lewis, Laurenceau, & Levine, 2008) and improve their capacity for self-regulation (Pears et al., 2013). Neuropsychological Function in Children With Maltreatment-Related Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. It seems likely that children in out-of-home care will experience some degree of cognitive difficulty and discrete trauma symptoms, depending on their unique experiences. The window of opportunity for addressing underdeveloped cognitive skills may be greater than previously thought. Teicher M. H., Anderson C. M., & Polcari A. For children and youth who experience child abuse or neglect and associated trauma, brain development may be interrupted, leading to functional impairments. March. the need to better integrate neuroimaging and neuropsychological studies into a program of research that tracks cognitive development over time. (2014). Tordon, R., Vinnerljung, B., & Axelsson, U. Many practice and policy documents highlight the potential for "trauma-informed" interventions to effect change in cognitive functioning and other areas of development. Frodl, T., & O'Keane, V. (2013). Biol Psychiatry. So understanding how to build connections with teens requires understanding how age and past experiences can alter a brain over a lifetimeand how those brain changes affect behavior. Please enable it to take advantage of the complete set of features! Caregiver emotional regulation has been linked to children's capacity for cognitive flexibility (i.e., the ability to rapidly respond and adapt to changing circumstances) in children exposed to intimate partner violence (Samuelson, Krueger, & Wilson, 2012). Psychological treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). van der Kolk, B. Pediatric PTSD is characterized by abnormal structure and function in neural circuitry supporting threat processing and emotion regulation. The impact of adversity on brain development may depend on whether children primarily have experienced deprivation or threat during their pre-care life: resulting in either delayed cognitive development or dis-integration of cognitive skills, respectively (see McLaughlin et al., 2014). While the broad symptoms of complex developmental trauma may well reflect the experiences of many children in care, other difficulties may be related not to trauma but to adversities such as antenatal alcohol exposure, placement instability, poverty, neglect and pervasive developmental issues (De Jong, 2010; Zilberstein & Popper, 2014).

Effects of a foster parent training program on young children's attachment behaviors: Preliminary evidence from a randomized clinical trial. Therefore, until more tailored interventions are developed for the complex needs of children in care, trauma-specific therapy should be offered as part of the support plan for children who have been exposed to traumatic events. The https:// ensures that you are connecting to the Early-life adversities for these children may include exposure to alcohol and other substances in utero, and neglect. Hildyard K. L., Wolfe D. A.

Dr. Bruce Perry, MD (left) documents the brain science of how attachment problems can cause developmental trauma to a fetus, infant, or child - just when the brain is developing. Prefrontal-Amygdala Dysregulation to Threat in Pediatric Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. Notably, abnormal frontolimbic development may contribute to increasing threat reactivity and weaker emotion regulation as youth age. In J. D. Ford, & C. A. Courtois (Eds). Longitudinal research is still needed to clarify the exact windows during which targeted interventions may be most effective, but there is every reason to believe that improvement in discrete cognitive skills such as memory and attention is possible for most children throughout adolescence. Certain areas of the frontal lobes, responsible for making sense of social information, may be most affected by abuse between the ages of 14 to 16 (McCrory et al., 2011), implying that the brain may be malleable and benefit from targeted interventions well into adolescence. 402 0 obj

Schools can offer the stability and continuity needed to address specific difficulties (McLean & Beytell, 2016; Tordon et al., 2014). Objective neuropsychological deficits in post-traumatic stress disorder and mild traumatic brain injury: What remains beyond symptom similarity? Positive and stable connection with education services is also important. Healthy brain development is essential for realizing one's full potential and for overall well-being. One traumatic experience was when my home was burnt down to ashes and I became sick for such a long time, even lead to hospitalization. Just as each child will have different emotional responses to a traumatic event, the way that the brain responds to trauma will also vary across children. Furthermore, cross-sectional studies suggest that youth with PTSD have abnormal frontolimbic development compared to typically developing youth. hWn7}`v,;EQ i4[.$IvKgsQ);#6%c;>,=wALwBnWZ\0D*N.Iu1|PtrN b1YJ!zWwMjVc=S4Fij]LQ{-"KV6X2ns2hfe %%Zr["uX/a/4b.^ _]:;kdW:m1s9[D74%;Y>/*ajy]]t N+eEF5OJ4aLmA"-5$\0

It is important not to equate physical safety (achieved via placement in care) with psychological safety, which may take time to develop. The way trauma influences brain development will be different for each child. Perry, B. D. (2009). Koenen, K., Moffitt, T.E., Caspi, A., Taylor, A., and Purcell, S. (2003). Studies of children in care and related populations - including children with neurodevelopmental issues or acquired head injury (Melby-Lervag & Hulme, 2013), children affected by fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD; McLean & McDougall, 2014), and children with PTSD - all suggest that cognitive skills can be improved with specific and targeted interventions, delivered in the context of a safe and nurturing relationship. %%EOF
Executive function skills mature later and over a more prolonged period than other cognitive skills (Hedges & Woon, 2011; Pechtel & Pizzagalli, 2010), meaning that there is a long period of time during which interventions may be possible. On the whole, neuropsychological studies tend to show that children who have experienced or witnessed violence, trauma, abuse or neglect do experience cognitive difficulties in one or more areas, when compared to children who haven't experienced these adversities (McCrory et al., 2011; McLaughlin et al., 2014). Nolin, P., & Ethier, L. (2007). Accessibility Persistent crying and inability to be consoled. Trauma and adversity is commonly described as leading to a hyper-arousal of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA axis) that results in changes in brain development. 2021 Jan 15;89(2):144-151. doi: 10.1016/j.biopsych.2020.06.001. It is thought that in this context, the neurological development of the brain becomes distorted such that the "survival" mechanisms of the brain and body are more dominant than the "learning" mechanisms (Atkinson, 2013), resulting in wide-ranging impairments in arousal, cognitive, emotional and social functioning. Most brain imaging studies investigating the relationship between trauma and changes in the development, regulation and responsiveness of a child's brain over time are based on studies of adults who report a history of childhood abuse, rather than on studies that track children's development over time (McLaughlin et al., 2014; Teicher, Anderson, & Polcari, 2012).

The Adverse Childhood Experiences study (Anda, Felitti, & Bremner, 2006) has shown that this kind of exposure is associated with a range of adverse physical and mental health outcomes in adulthood (see also Price-Robertson, Higgins, & Vassallo, 2013). Domestic violence is associated with environmental suppression of IQ in young children. K., Susman, E. J., & Putnam, F. W. (2006). Difficulty with behavioural regulation and impulse control may be supported by learning and rehearsing "Stop-Think-Do" strategies and by the use of prompts to remind the child to monitor their behaviour (e.g., snapping elastic band around wrist) and to act as a "stop gap" between impulse and action. See this image and copyright information in PMC. Interventions that target complex trauma are necessary, but may not be sufficient to meet the developmental needs of children in care. Ford, T., Vostanis, P., Meltzer, H., & Goodman, R. (2007). 4 The term "cognitive interventions" is used to mean therapeutic programs or practices that target specific cognitive skills thought to be affected by trauma, such as memory or attention.

Trauma and the Brain Paradigm shift Many behaviors that are seen could be a symptom or reaction to a traumatic experience A more accurate way to view the child may be to fully determine a child's trauma history and to understand the impact that trauma has had on the child's development Brain Development The amygdala, an area of the brain associated with the automatic (pre-conscious) processing of emotional information, has been shown to be over-responsive to emotional stimuli (e.g., angry faces) in studies of abused children (McCrory et al., 2011; McLaughlin et al., 2014; Pollak, Klorman, Thatcher, & Cicchetti, 2001). In fact, traumatic experience can alter young childrens' brain development. Neuropsychological studies are more useful than neuroimaging studies in assessing children's everyday functioning because they provide us with more direct insight into the difficulties that children experience. It outlines "normal" or healthy development of the key areas of the brain and how the brain may be impacted. Relationships between maternal emotion regulation, parenting, and children's executive functioning in families exposed to intimate partner violence. These studies don't generally control for other factors that can affect IQ scores, such as education level and presence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or depression, which means these findings can't necessarily be generalised to all children in care. This trauma-specific intervention has also been shown to improve broad aspects of executive functioning such as cognitive skills and emotional regulation (Cohen et al., 2011; Matulis et al., 2013). Many of the assumptions made in this literature have not been subject to critical review, despite the influence of these ideas in shaping service delivery for children in out-of-home care (see Box 1 for an overview). Children can experience PTSD symptoms following discrete traumas, in which sensory information and emotions become disconnected. hbbd```b` AD2H^o)h 2022 Dec 8;13:1010957. doi: 10.3389/fpsyt.2022.1010957.

Preliminary evidence for abnormal cortical development in physically and sexually abused children using EEG coherence and MRI. Caregivers may need assistance in adapting the way that they give instructions and make requests to children. Compared to non-neglected peers, emotionally neglected children may have less efficient brain activity during tasks that require inhibitory control, suggesting that neglect is associated with poor ability to self-regulate and inhibit responses (Mueller et al., 2010; McLaughlin et al., 2014). Moffitt, T. (2013). The neurosequential model of therapeutics. Attachment trauma occurs easily because birth is incredibly stressful to a baby: suddenly there's lack of oxygen, blinding light, shocking cold, terrifying noise, and pain. Although the description of complex trauma resonates with many practitioners, the lack of rigorous evidence in support of complex trauma as a construct, as well as paucity of evidence in favour of interventions for complex trauma, has meant that it has not yet been accepted as a formal diagnostic category by mental health professionals (DSM-V: APA). Australian Centre for Posttraumatic Mental Health and Parenting Research Centre. Age-related abnormalities in frontolimbic activation and amygdala-prefrontal connectivity in pediatric PTSD. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. Executive functioning is a coordinated set of cognitive skills that includes two broad domains: metacognitive skills (attending to task, planning, organisation, cognitive flexibility) and skills of behaviour regulation (response inhibition, emotional regulation) (Goia, Isquith, Retzlaff, & Espy, 2002). If caregivers can tolerate trauma-related emotions, then children can learn that it is safe to express these emotions over time. Ionio C, Ciuffo G, Villa F, Landoni M, Sacchi M, Rizzi D. J Child Adolesc Trauma. The child's school can provide an environment in which intensive and continuous interventions can be delivered. Lansdown, R., Burnell, A., & Allen, M. (2007). For instance, antenatal alcohol exposure frequently affects later cognitive functioning (see McLean & McDougall, 2014; McLean, McDougall, & Russell, 2014), but studies of children in care rarely report on history of antenatal alcohol exposure.
