A study published in “Trauma, Violence, & Abuse” highlights the impact of intimate partner violence (IPV) on women’s neurocognitive functioning, specifically executive function (EF). The research conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis involving 22 studies with 1,425 participants, comparing women victims of IPV to non-victims. Findings reveal that IPV victims exhibit moderate to large impairments in cognitive flexibility, inhibition, and semantic verbal fluency. Performance in working memory was not significantly affected. The qualitative analysis indicated that IPV victims also struggle with phonological verbal fluency, planning, reasoning, decision-making, and working memory. The study noted differences among women experiencing various forms of abuse, regardless of the presence of posttraumatic stress disorder or brain injury. The identified EF alterations may stem from brain injury, mental health issues, or adverse childhood experiences, necessitating further investigation into these individual factors. These insights aim to enhance personalized interventions and inform legal decision-making processes for IPV victims.
