Auditory/verbal and visual/spatial memory in children with complex partial epilepsy of temporal lobe origin
Abstract
Two groups of epileptic children and a normal control group were administered a Comprehensive Children's Memory Scale (Experimental Edition) which is presently being developed by this author. The first experimental group consisted of 12 children having complex partial seizures of left temporal origin and the second group consisted of 12 children having partial complex seizures of right temporal lobe origin based upon clinical description and EEG/neuroimaging verification. Results indicated: (a) Children with left temporal lobe epilepsy demonstrated significantly lower performance than controls on auditory/verbal memory testing. (b) Children with right temporal lobe epilepsy demonstrated significantly lower performance than controls on visual/spatial memory testing. (c) For the most part, the right and left temporal lobe groups did not significantly differ from each other. However, their performance was in the expected direction; i.e., children with left temporal lobe epilepsy scored lower than right temporal lobe epileptics on auditory/verbal memory testing, and children with right temporal lobe epilepsy scored lower than left temporal lobe epileptics on visual/spatial memory testing.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
