No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The social processes depend on complex cognitive mechanisms, which involve mainly the frontal and temporal lobe regions. Patients with early onset frontal and temporal lobe lesions might later develop important deficits in social integration. Accordingly, children with early onset temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) demonstrate altered emotion recognition.

Conditions

  • BECTS
  • Epilepsy, Rolandic

Interventions

Five pictures (including nonfacial features; i.e., hairs) were used for each emotion, giving a total of 25 trials.Stimuli consist of pictures of facial affect taken from the Ekman and Friesen series.
