“…In general, there is support for neurocognitive impairments being characteristic of CD and antisocial behavior even after controlling for ADHD [Giancola et al, 1998;Raine et al, 2005;Séguin et al, 2004]. We suggest that this may be specifically for physically aggressive CD behaviors; that is, ADHD symptoms shared variance with only half of the neurocognitive tests that had previously related to physical aggression, but not to theft.…”

There is growing evidence that among the different conduct disorder (CD) behaviors, physical aggression, but not theft, links to low neurocognitive abilities. Specifically, physical aggression has consistently been found to be negatively related to neurocognitive abilities, whereas theft has been shown to be either positively or not related to neurocognition. The specificity of these links needs further examination because attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) links to both physical aggression and neurocognitive variation. The development of self-reported physical aggression and theft, from age 11 to 17 years, was studied in a prospective at-risk male cohort via a dual process latent growth curve model. Seven neurocognitive tests at age 20 were regressed on the growth parameters of physical aggression and theft. The links between neurocognition and the growth parameters of physical aggression and theft were adjusted for ADHD symptoms at ages 11 and 15 (parent, child and teacher reports). Results indicated that verbal abilities were negatively related to physical aggression while they were positively associated with theft. However, inductive reasoning was negatively associated with increases in theft across adolescence. Symptoms of ADHD accounted for part of the neurocognitive test links with physical aggression but did not account for the associations with theft. These differences emphasize the importance of examining specific CD behaviors to better understand their neurodevelopmental mechanisms. They also suggest that youth who engage in different levels of physical aggression or theft behaviors may require different preventive and corrective interventions.Correspondence to:

“…Thanks to such approaches, a third trajectory was identified, called childhood-limited (CL) subtype. These individuals also show high levels of conduct problems early in their life-course and several risk factors, but appear to remit in their conduct problems, such that by adolescence or adulthood, they engage in near-zero levels of these behaviours [4,9,10]. The EOP, AO, and CL trajectories have repeatedly been identified in longitudinal studies that seek to investigate the risk factors and consequences of conduct problems and antisocial behaviour across life [11].…”

“…Boys are generally more susceptible to the clinical disorders that present in early childhood (Rutter et al 2003). Rates of neurodevelopmental difficulties and childhood disorder are higher in young males (Rutter et al 2003 ;Raine et al 2005 ;Messer et al 2006). Conduct disorder is co-morbid with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and emotional disorders (e.g.…”

“…Aggression is linked to frontal deficits (Raine, 2002 ;Forbes et al 2006). Thus, the early emergence of a high, stable aggressive trajectory (with its preponderance of boys) may result from boys' higher risk for deficits in emotion regulation and cognitive function (Raine et al 2005). …”

The gradual emergence of sex differences in aggression: alternative hypotheses

Nearly a century of observational studies and more recent longitudinal surveys reveal that, in infancy, girls and boys use force at similar rates. Over the next few years boys become significantly more aggressive. Alternative hypotheses accounting for the widening gender gap are evaluated. These include hypotheses about normative patterns of male escalation and female desistance ; boys' preference for active play that promotes aggression ; girls' tendency to hide aggression ; girls' use of alternative forms of aggression ; boys' increased risk for the cognitive and emotional problems that are linked to aggression ; boys' sensitivity to situational triggers of aggression ; and boys' vulnerability to adverse rearing environments. The evidence bearing on each hypothesis is mixed. In general, the overall difference between the sexes appears to be produced by a minority of boys who deploy aggression at high rates. Three general principles govern the emergence of sex differences in aggression : female precocity, male vulnerability, and the salience of sex as a social category that shapes children's lives.
