Abstract

This study examined neuropsychological performance by 92 children with Tourette's syndrome (TS) grouped by the presence or absence of obsessive-compulsive and/or attention deficit symptoms. The identified groups did not differ with respect to age, education, age at onset of TS symptoms, or medication use. After statistical control for complex motor symptoms, impaired performance on measures of achievement and executive functioning was correlated with obsessive and obsessive/attention symptoms, but not with attention symptoms alone. The presence of both obsessive and attention symptoms identified children with impairment across several tasks. Clinical and functional implications are discussed.
