This study aimed to compare the executive functions of children with conduct disorder and the normal ones in the city of Mashhad. This research is descriptive and causal-comparative. The statistical sample included 50 subjects selected through convenience sampling and assigned to two groups of children with conduct disorder (25) and normal (25 persons). The structured interviews for DSM-V disorders (SCID-5-CV) and Child Symptom Inventory-4 (CSI-4) was used to select the sample group. Data collected using the N-back test and integrated visual and auditory Continuous Performance Test (IVA+ PLUS). The data analyzed by analysis of variance, MANOVA. The results showed that there was a significant difference in terms of working memory and visual sustained attention scores between two groups of children (p<0/05). But there was no significant difference in terms of visual-auditorial response inhibition.Thus, children with conduct disorder have a substantial deficit in executive functions compare to normal children.
