Area of Science:

  • Child Psychology
  • Neurodevelopmental Disorders
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Behavioral problems in children can impact cognitive functioning.
  • Understanding specific disorders like Conduct Disorder (CD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is crucial for targeted interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate cognitive differences in children diagnosed with various behavioral disorders.
  • To examine response perseveration and delayed responding (DRL) in students with Conduct Disorder, ADHD, comorbid CD/ADHD, and Anxiety-Withdrawal Disorder compared to controls.

Main Methods:

  • Screening of 814 students (grades 3-6) using the Revised Behavior Problem Checklist.
  • Administering response perseveration and DRL tasks to 53 selected students representing different diagnostic groups and normal controls.

Main Results:

  • No significant differences in delayed responding (DRL) performance were found across the groups.
  • Students with Conduct Disorder exhibited significantly more perseverative responding for reward compared to other groups.

Conclusions:

  • Findings support the hypothesis that Conduct Disorder is associated with perseverative responding, particularly in reward-seeking contexts.
  • Cognitive task performance, specifically response perseveration, may serve as a behavioral marker for Conduct Disorder in children.
