Abstract Synopsis

  • Adversity-exposed youth typically score lower on cognitive tests, but some abilities may actually be enhanced by adversity, especially in real-world situations.
  • A study with 618 youth used two types of attention and working memory tasks—one abstract and one ecological—to compare performance.
  • Findings showed that while these youth scored lower on abstract tasks, they performed nearly as well as their peers on ecological tasks, suggesting certain talents might be hidden and context-dependent.]
