Déjà vu aura is a well-known phenomenon experienced by some patients with epilepsy. This study sought to explore the relationship between verbal memory and the experience of déjà vu or other types of mnemestic auras in 42 individuals with intractable seizures and 42 age- and education-matched patient controls. Verbal memory was assessed with indices of learning, long delay recall, and recognition from the California Verbal Learning Test. Results indicated that auras of any type were not associated with memory performance on the California Verbal Learning Test. As expected, age and education were related to verbal memory performance. Mnemestic auras were associated with clinical indices of illness, suggesting that the presence of these auras may be regarded as a risk factor for greater chronicity and severity in epilepsy.
幻觉先兆是一些癫痫患者经历的一种众所周知的现象。本研究旨在探讨言语记忆与 42 名难治性癫痫患者和 42 名年龄和教育程度匹配的患者对照者经历的幻觉或其他类型的记忆先兆之间的关系。言语记忆通过加利福尼亚言语学习测验的学习、长延迟回忆和识别指数进行评估。结果表明，任何类型的先兆都与加利福尼亚言语学习测验的记忆表现无关。正如预期的那样，年龄和教育程度与言语记忆表现相关。记忆先兆与疾病的临床指标有关，这表明这些先兆的存在可能被视为癫痫慢性和严重性增加的一个危险因素。
