A high incidence of behavioral and learning difficulties has been found in juvenile seizure-prone baboons presented with a graded series of operant behavioral task challenges. The animals fell into two distinct groups based upon the rate at which their operant performance was able to develop, the amount of day-to-day variability in performance level, their ability to tolerate change, and the frequency of appearance of symptoms of emotionality. The association between learning problems and behavior problems in these seizure-prone baboons may correlate well with the deficits in both intellectual performance and social behavior that have been reported in some studies with human epileptics. In addition, the data suggest a relationship between familial factors and trainability, and between predisposition to seizures and trainability.
在面临一系列分级操作性行为任务挑战的易患癫痫的幼年狒狒中，发现了行为和学习困难的高发生率。根据它们操作性行为表现的发展速度、表现水平的日常变化量、耐受变化的能力以及情绪症状出现的频率，这些动物分为两个不同的组。这些易患癫痫的狒狒中学习问题与行为问题之间的关联，可能与一些针对人类癫痫患者的研究中所报道的智力表现和社会行为缺陷密切相关。此外，数据表明家族因素与可训练性之间、癫痫易感性与可训练性之间存在关联。
