So, Are The Alleged Symptoms Due To The Sexual 'Abuse' Or An Inherent 'Brain Dysfunction'? - Chicken Or Egg?
Journal of Child Sexual Abuse Volume 22, Issue 6, 2013
The Cognitive Impact of Sexual Abuse and PTSD in Children: A Neuropsychological Study
"Received: 4 Dec 2011

Sexual abuse [sic] is known to have an impact on both child and adult mental health [no, there appears to be some correlation, in a small minority of people], but the neuropsychological basis of this effect is still largely unknown.
This study compared neuropsychological test results from a group of 76 children, 13 of them sexual abuse [sic] victims with symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, 26 victims of sexual abuse [sic] who showed no symptoms post-traumatic stress disorder, and 37 controls.
The groups were matched by age, sex, socioeconomic status, and educational level. Child sexual abuse [sic] was associated with reduced ability to inhibit automatic responses measured by the Stroop test regardless of post-traumatic stress disorder status.
These findings indicate possible attentional inhibition difficulties in child victims of sexual abuse [sic], which may help explain psychopathology associated with the experience."
