In this study, 206 children participating in a longitudinal study were assessed prospectively for exposure to interpersonal trauma (IPT) including physical or emotional abuse or neglect, sexual abuse, witnessing maternal partner violence, between birth and 64 months. Child intelligent quotient (IQ) scores were assessed at 24, 64 and 96 months of age. Race/ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status, maternal IQ, birth complications, birth weight and cognitive stimulation in the home were also assessed. The results indicate that interpersonal trauma exposure was significantly associated with decreased cognitive scores at all time points, even after controlling for socio-demographic and other factors. IPT in the first 2 years of life appeared to be especially detrimental.
