Since tic suppression is part of Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics and Exposure and Response Prevention, there has been increased interest in investigating the characteristics of tic suppression and the factors that affect it. A study of 26 TS adolescents compared free ticcing with a tic suppression condition \citep{25786675}. During the free ticcing condition tic distribution across body parts was consistent with the general view that most tics occur at the level of the shoulders and above. Eye tics were the most frequent followed by facial/cervical tics. Limb tics and tics involving the trunk were the least common. During the tic suppression condition, an increase in eye tics were seen in 10 subjects along with an increase in hand tics in 3 subjects. Subjects were more successful inhibiting tics associated with the body parts that generally are involved in the fewest tics (such as the legs and the trunk). The authors make the case that tic suppression involves specific inhibition rather than global inhibition since tic suppression does not result in a general reduction in tics regardless of which body part they involve.   Tic Some tic  suppression ability was is  seeneven  inyoung  children who had even when they have  had tics for six months or less (Greene et al., al, 2015:  Reward enhances tic suppression, 2015). suppression in children within months of tic disorder onset). Children who received tokens with monetary value for tic-free intervals had signficantly more of these intervals compared to a baseline period.  Attention and tic suppression in TS \citep{25486384} | – |     | **Title** | **Comment** |
