Childhood maltreatment is associated with both reduced cognitive functioning and the development of psychotic symptoms. However, the specific relationship between childhood maltreatment, cognitive abilities and (pre)psychotic symptoms remains unclear. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the association between childhood maltreatment and tasks of verbal memory and processing speed in a help-seeking sample of an early detection of psychosis service.
