Extreme Heat Exposure is Associated with Lower Learning, General Cognitive Ability, and Memory among US Children
This study underscores the impact of climate change on cognitive function disparities, particularly in learning and general cognitive ability among children exposed to extreme heat. Findings highlight the need for targeted interventions to mitigate the cognitive risks associated with heat exposure in vulnerable populations.
