TLDR: In this paper, the authors compared the performances on a battery of cognitive tests of 169 primary students divided into three groups (ODD, CD and controls, average age 99 years) The ODD and CD groups had lower performances than the controls and differed on executive measures.

Abstract: Le trouble oppositionnel avec provocation (TOP) et le trouble des conduites (TC) s’observent frequemment chez les eleves du primaire suivis pour problemes de com ‐ portement S’ils peuvent etre associes a des difficultes cognitives, peu d’etudes ont distingue le TOP du TC dans cette association Cette etude compare les performances de 169 eleves repartis en trois groupes (TOP; TC; temoin; âge moyen : 9,9 ans) a une batterie de tests cognitifs Les groupes TOP et TC ont de moins bonnes performances que les temoins et se differencient sur des mesures executives Ces resultats suggerent que ces groupes beneficieraient d’interventions ciblant les habiletes cognitives Mote cles : trouble de comportement; trouble oppositionnel; trouble des conduites; habiletes cognitives Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) and conduct disorder (CD) are frequently seen in primary students being monitored for behavioural problems While they may be associated with cognitive problems, few studies distinguish between ODD and CD in this association Our research compares the performances on a battery of cognitive tests of 169 students divided into three groups (ODD, CD and controls, average age 99 years) The ODD and CD groups had lower performances than the controls and differed on executive measures These results suggest that these groups would benefit from interventions targeting cognitive skills Key words: behaviour problems, oppositional disorder, conduct disorder, cognitive skills
