Abstract

Many components of executive functions are impaired in children suffering from tic disorders(TD),including working memory ability declines,difficulty in sustained attention,response inhibition,cognitive flexibility,thought organization,planning ability,social ability,comprehension of nonliteral language.Comorbid conditions of TD such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder(ADHD),obsessive-compulsive disorder(OCD),autism spectrum disorder(ASD) will worsen executive functions deficits.There are significant correlations between tic severity and some executive functions deficits.Intact executive function development is related to remission processes of tic symptoms.Improvement of executive function may reduce severity of tic symptoms.

Key words
