Conversational fluency and executive function in adolescents with conduct disorder.
Abstract
BACKGROUND: EF impairments are known to occur among adolescents with conduct disorder (CD) but their influence on communication ability is not well-understood. The purpose of this study was to relate scores on a clinical EF questionnaire to performance on a communication task. Extemporaneous conversation was chosen as the target task, because it places a high demand on EFs and it is a critical medium for adolescent social development.
