A set of verbal and visual-graphic learning tasks sensitive to differential cerebral hemisphere impairment was administered to 50 patients with epileptogenic focus localized in either the left or right cerebral hemisphere. Patients with left-hemisphere seizure-foci and those with generalized seizures performed the verbal task significantly more poorly than did patients with right-hemisphere epileptogenic foci. In contrast, there were no significant differences between groups on the non-verbal tasks. Results are discussed in light of findings in the literature relating cognitive dysfunction to epilepsy and with regard to the possible contribution of such dysfunction to patients' complaints.
对50名癫痫病灶位于左脑半球或右脑半球的患者进行了一组对不同脑半球损伤敏感的言语和视觉图形学习任务。左脑半球癫痫病灶患者和全身性癫痫患者在言语任务上的表现明显比右脑半球癫痫病灶患者差。相比之下，在非言语任务上，各组之间没有显著差异。根据文献中有关认知功能障碍与癫痫的研究结果以及这种功能障碍对患者主诉可能产生的影响对结果进行了讨论。
