From the article I read this study examines how a series of
physical punishment actions, ranging from mild physical penalties to physical
abuse, is associated with cognitive performance. Physical punishment is caught
in three groups: mild physical punishment, strict physical punishment, and
physical abuse, and punishment conducted by caregivers and children reported.
After taking into account socioeconomic and demographic characteristics, only
Ninit's exposure to physical abuse was significantly related to cognitive
performance decline. Our findings are relatively consistent regardless of
whether the physical punishment is reported by the child or caregiver. Overall,
our findings indicate that the prevention of physical abuse can improve the
cognitive performance of children, but that alone may not be enough to ensure
children get involved and adjust well in school.
