RESUMEN
Objective:To analyse the behavioral problems of children with chronic tic disorders(CTD).Methods:Children with CTD only and with comorbid attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD)as well as ADHD and normal controls were assessed by Child Behavior Checklist(CBCL).The rates and scores of behavioral problems between groups were compared.Results:The rate of behavioral problems,total score and most subscales scores in CTD comorbid ADHD group and ADHD group were significantly higher than those of CTD only and control group.There were no significant differences between CTD only and control group except obsessive compulsive problem,hyperactivity behavior,aggressive behavior and total score.Conclusion:The present study suggests that comorbid ADHD was associated with more behavioral problems.
RESUMEN
Objective: To explore the etiology and pathology of functional articulation disorder(FAD) by studying sustained attention in children with FAD.Methods: 32 FAD children were selected as test group,and 32 normal children in the same age served as control group.Intelligence and Integrated Visual and Auditory Continuous Performance Test(IVA-CPT) were administered to all participants.The differences of sustained attention were compared between the two groups.Results: Auditory attention quotient and full scale attention quotient of children with FAD were inferior to those in control group.Conclusion: The sustained attention of children with FAD was much lower than normal children,which perhaps is a contributing factor in FAD.
