Electrophysiological measures and dual‐task performance in Tourette syndrome indicate deficient divided attention mechanisms

Tourette syndrome has been associated with impairments of attentional functions such as distractability, even in subjects without co‐morbid attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Based on the results of earlier research we hypothesized that Tourette syndrome patients might employ altered control mechanisms of attentional processes and have concurrent difficulties in allocating their attentional resources among competing tasks.
