The value of a range of computer-aided tests in the neuropsychological assessment was investigated in 94-177 children with epilepsy, aged 8-18 years, compared with 68-161 controls in the same age group. Children from the age of 8 years could cope with rather complex tests in a wide range of functions: reaction time measurements, motor speed, information processing, and memory. The speed of performance tended to increase with age in both groups, with differences in information processing becoming apparent from the age of 12 years. The precise control of stimulus and response required to define the mainly minor differences between the epilepsy and control groups can only be fulfilled by computerized testing, which should undergo further refinement including voice and language recognition, followed by artificial intelligence.
对94至177名8至18岁的癫痫儿童进行了一系列计算机辅助测试在神经心理学评估中的价值研究，并与同年龄组的68至161名对照组儿童进行了比较。8岁及以上的儿童能够应对各种功能中相当复杂的测试：反应时间测量、运动速度、信息处理和记忆。两组的表现速度都倾向于随年龄增长，12岁起信息处理方面的差异变得明显。要确定癫痫组和对照组之间主要是细微的差异，需要通过计算机化测试精确控制刺激和反应，这种测试应进一步完善，包括语音和语言识别，随后引入人工智能。
