Plain-language summary

Chronic and pervasive loneliness has been identified as an important factor in the relationship between adverse childhood experiences (ACE) (e.g. abuse and neglect) and mental disorders. However, the mechanisms determining loneliness after ACE are still needed to be disentangled. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the differential effect of ACE on alterations in cognition and the link between ACE and loneliness with an emphasis on the effect of type and timing of ACE.
