Abstract：
Previous studies have determined that exposure to risk and adversities may impair children\'s cognitive abilities. In particular, children engaged with Child Protective Services (CPS) seem to be at greater risk for enhanced detrimental effects resulting from the cumulative risk factors to which they are exposed. However, little is known about children\'s future thinking when they face adverse circumstances, and it is not clear how the associations among episodic foresight abilities, episodic memory, and executive functions work with children under such circumstances. The current study describes the episodic foresight abilities of CPS-involved school-aged children, its association with other cognitive abilities, and how this association is affected by the exposure to cumulative risk and adversity factors. Episodic foresight, episodic memory, executive functions, and a composite of cumulative risk factors were analyzed in a sample of 95 school-aged children engaged with CPS in Portugal. Results suggest the detrimental effect of cumulative risk on the episodic foresight abilities of CPS-involved children. Episodic memory and cognitive flexibility were significant predictors of episodic foresight abilities, and cumulative risk exposure moderated the relation between episodic memory and episodic foresight. The current study provides a better understanding of the influences of multiple adversities on CPS-involved children\'s episodic foresight abilities and related cognitive outcomes.
摘要：
先前的研究已经确定，暴露于风险和逆境可能会损害儿童的认知能力。特别是,接受儿童保护服务(CPS)的儿童似乎面临更大的风险,因为他们所暴露的累积风险因素导致的有害影响增强.然而,人们对儿童面对不利情况时的未来思考知之甚少，目前还不清楚情景预见能力之间的联系，情景记忆,在这种情况下，执行职能与儿童一起工作。当前的研究描述了参与CPS的学龄儿童的情景预见能力，它与其他认知能力的联系，以及这种关联如何受到累积风险和逆境因素的影响。情景预见，情景记忆,执行功能，我们对葡萄牙95名接受CPS治疗的学龄儿童进行了综合累积危险因素分析.结果表明，累积风险对CPS患儿的偶发预见能力具有不利影响。情景记忆和认知灵活性是情景预见能力的重要预测因子，累积风险暴露缓和了情景记忆与情景预见之间的关系。目前的研究提供了一个更好的理解多种逆境对CPS参与儿童的情景预见能力和相关的认知结果的影响。
