Cognitive-Linguistic Functions in Adults with Epilepsy: Preliminary Electrophysiological and Behavioral Findings
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Dutta, Manaswita; Murray, Laura L.; Miller, Wendy; Innis, Isaiah; Newman, Sharlene – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: Cognition and language difficulties are frequently reported in both children and adults with epilepsy. The majority of the existing research has focused on pediatric epilepsy, documenting impairments in learning, academics, and social-emotional functioning. In comparison, language deficits in younger and older adults with epilepsy have…

Narrative Abilities of Children with Epilepsy
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Strekas, Amy; Ratner, Nan Bernstein; Berl, Madison; Gaillard, William D. – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2013
Background: There is a noticeable publication gap in the speech-language pathology literature regarding the language abilities of children with common types of epilepsy. This paper reviews studies that suggest a high frequency of undetected language problems in this population, and it proposes the need for pragmatically based assessment of…

Attention and Material-Specific Memory in Children with Lateralized Epilepsy
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Engle, Jennifer A.; Smith, Mary Lou – Neuropsychologia, 2010
Epilepsy is frequently associated with attention and memory problems. In adults, lateralization of seizure focus impacts the type of memory affected (left-sided lesions primarily impact verbal memory, while right-sided lesions primarily impact visual memory), but the relationship between seizure focus and the nature of the memory impairment is…

Interictal and Postictal Performances on Dichotic Listening Test in Children with Focal Epilepsy
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Carlsson, G.; Wiegand, G.; Stephani, U. – Brain and Cognition, 2011
Dichotic listening test (DL) is an important tool to disclose speech dominance in healthy subjects and in clinical cases. The aim of this study was to probe if focal epilepsy in children reveals a corresponding suppression of the ear reports contralateral to seizure onset site. Thus, 15 children and adolescents with clinically and…

Impaired Facial Expression Recognition in Children with Temporal Lobe Epilepsy: Impact of Early Seizure Onset on Fear Recognition
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Golouboff, Nathalie; Fiori, Nicole; Delalande, Olivier; Fohlen, Martine; Dellatolas, Georges; Jambaque, Isabelle – Neuropsychologia, 2008
The amygdala has been implicated in the recognition of facial emotions, especially fearful expressions, in adults with early-onset right temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). The present study investigates the recognition of facial emotions in children and adolescents, 8-16 years old, with epilepsy. Twenty-nine subjects had TLE (13 right, 16 left) and…

Dissociation of Short- and Long-Term Face Memory: Evidence from Long-Term Recency Effects in Temporal Lobe Epilepsy
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Bengner, T.; Malina, T. – Brain and Cognition, 2007
We tested whether memory deficits in temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) are better described by a single- or dual-store memory model. To this aim, we analyzed the influence of TLE and proactive interference (PI) on immediate and 24-h long-term recency effects during face recognition in 16 healthy participants and 18 right and 21 left non-surgical TLE…
