Cognitive impairments of children with tic disorder
Tic disorder(TD)is a chronic neurodevelopmental condition that negatively affects children's cognition,attracting widespread academic attention.Studies indicate that children with TD commonly experience difficulties with concentration,memory,cognitive organization,task switching,and motor skills.These cognitive traits are closely linked to the severity,type,and duration of TD episodes.Furthermore,family environment and social adjustment of children with TD also play a role in their cognitive functioning.Despite the interaction of neurobiological,genetic,immune,and environmental factors,the exact mechanism remains unclear.This article provides an overview of the research progress regarding the impact of TD on children's cognitive functions,offering insights for cognitive interventions for children with TD.
