Lower frontal theta EROs during no‐go conditions indicate less efficient neural synchronization, observed in individuals with AUD or with a family history of AUD, and those exposed to childhood sexual assaultive trauma (Meyers et al. 2019; Pandey et al. 2016). This study demonstrated that nonsexual assaultive trauma combined with lower fluid intelligence PGS makes individuals more likely to present with lower frontal theta ERO power during the cued no‐go portion of the CPT. Lower frontal theta power during the cued no‐go indicates less efficient neural synchronization during behavioral inhibition in those exposed to nonsexual assaultive trauma and lower fluid intelligence PGS. This suggests nonsexual assaultive trauma, but not nonassaultive or sexual assaultive, interacts with polygenic scores for fluid intelligence, resulting in neural differences that are seen as correlates of cognitive function. This is in line with previous research that has shown individuals exposed to assaultive trauma have worse outcomes regarding cognitive function and psychopathology, as compared to those exposed to nonassaultive trauma (Cisler et al. 2011; Meyers et al. 2019). While neural differences were observed (i.e., lower frontal theta ERO
