Cognitive and affective neurodevelopment in youth exposed to deprivation and threat

Background: Early life adversity (ELA) is associated with notable negative consequences across development. Experiences of deprivation may affect neurocognitive development, while experiences of threat may alter emotion processing. Deprivation and threat may also differentially influence reward processing. However, unique consequences of deprivation and threat beyond low family resources are debated. Methods: We employed an exposure vs. control data analytic approach to isolate deprivation and threat influences from socioeconomic resources. Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study(R) youth exposed to neither deprivation nor threat (N=2408-2962) were matched to youth exposed to dep
