Executive Function Performance for Children With Epilepsy Localized to the Frontal or Temporal Lobes.

Research with adults with epilepsy consistently indicates deficits in executive function (EF). There is less research specific to children with epilepsy and EF. The purpose of this study was to consider EF deficits in children with complex partial epilepsy and complex partial with secondary generalization epilepsy with onset localized to the frontal or temporal lobes.
