Implicit Learning in Epileptic Children

Summary

Epileptic children suffer from impairments in various learning and memory tasks. Yet, no study investigated implicit learning in epileptic children. Implicit learning is not only underlying motor skills acquisition, but also social and cognitive ones. Because acquisition of new skills is optimal during childhood, the study of implicit learning mechanism in children is of major importance. The present study will be the first to explore implicit learning mechanisms in children with epilepsy. Implicit learning mechanisms can be preserved or altered.

BEHAVIORAL

ASRT task

The ASRT (Alternating Serial Reaction Time) task is a computerized behavioral task measuring implicit learning. This task consists of 20 series of trials lasting 2 minutes each. In each trial, a stimulus is displayed on the screen in one of the four possible predefined locations. The participant must press a button to indicate the position of the stimulus on the screen. Response content and response time are recorded. At the end of every trial, the participant can take a break and resume the task whenever ready. The task lasts about 45 to 50 minutes.
