Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a public health and human rights issue, with millions of children affected worldwide. While several reviews have explored the emotional-behavioural functioning of children exposed to IPV, this review aimed to examine the relationship between children's exposure to IPV and their cognitive development, and to identify associated factors such as aspects of parenting. The databases MEDLINE, PsycInfo, EMBASE, Family and Society Studies Worldwide, CINAHL, and ERIC were searched using key words related to IPV, such as domestic, family, partner, interparental, spousal, marital, violence, abuse, aggression, assault, combined with key words related to cognitive functioning, such as neuropsychological, executive, intelligence, learning, memory, and key words related to children and adolescents. A total of 38 studies met the criteria for review which included reporting an estimate of the relationship between IPV and cognition using direct assessments of cognitive functioning. Approximately 70% of studies found a relationship between IPV and poorer cognitive functioning, with general IQ the most frequently assessed domain of functioning, followed by verbal abilities and academic skills. Most studies assessed skills during early childhood, with fewer studies assessing children during middle childhood and adolescence. Results were consistent across cognitive domains and developmental stages. In terms of factors associated with IPV and cognition, a range of demographic, individual, and family factors were included, with several studies exploring mediating and moderating mechanisms. The findings suggest that IPV in childhood is associated with poorer cognitive skills across a range of domains. Implications for policy, practice and research are discussed.

亲密伴侣暴力与儿童和青少年认知发展：系统评价。

亲密伴侣暴力 (IPV) 是一个公共卫生和人权问题，全世界有数百万儿童受到影响。虽然一些评论探讨了暴露于 IPV 的儿童的情绪行为功能，但本综述旨在研究儿童暴露于 IPV 与其认知发展之间的关系，并确定相关因素，例如育儿方面。使用与 IPV 相关的关键词搜索 MEDLINE、PsycInfo、EMBASE、Family and Society Studies Worldwide、CINAHL 和 ERIC 数据库，例如家庭、家庭、伴侣、父母间、配偶、婚姻、暴力、虐待、侵略、攻击、联合与认知功能相关的关键词，如神经心理学、执行力、智力、学习、记忆，以及与儿童和青少年相关的关键词。共有 38 项研究符合审查标准，其中包括使用认知功能的直接评估来报告对 IPV 与认知之间关系的估计。大约 70% 的研究发现 IPV 与较差的认知功能之间存在关系，一般智商是最常评估的功能领域，其次是语言能力和学术技能。大多数研究评估儿童早期的技能，较少研究评估儿童中期和青春期的技能。结果在认知领域和发展阶段是一致的。在与 IPV 和认知相关的因素方面，包括一系列人口统计、个人和家庭因素，还有几项研究探索了中介和调节机制。研究结果表明，儿童时期的 IPV 与一系列领域的认知技能较差有关。讨论了对政策、实践和研究的影响。
