Abstract
This study examined performance on a battery of neuropsychological tests in a sample of 28 patients with Tourette's syndrome (TS). Test scores were converted to age-corrected T-scores to control for the effect of age on test performance. The frequency of abnormal test performances was variable, but more frequent on motor and sensory tasks. Symptom severity as measured by the Tourette Syndrome Global Scale was inversely related to neuropsychological performance. In general, neuropsychological performance was mildly below average. The pattern of performance was similar to previous studies of TS patients.Keywords
