The study aimed to explore the predictive value of neuropsychological tests within the context of acquisition of slow cortical potential (SCP) self-control, a technique which has beneficial effects on seizure frequency in epilepsy. Patients with epilepsy who successfully achieved SCP control had longer digit or block-tapping spans than less successful patients. Patients who showed a better learning rate across training also displayed better verbal memory and learning abilities. Seizure reduction was related to block-tapping spans only. The results indicate that measures of attention, as indicated by digit spans or block-tapping spans, offer some predictive value for acquisition of SCP control and treatment outcome, whilst measures of visuospatial or frontal lobe function are unrelated to SCP acquisition and seizure reduction.
该研究旨在探讨神经心理学测试在慢皮层电位（SCP）自我控制习得背景下的预测价值，慢皮层电位自我控制技术对癫痫发作频率有有益影响。成功实现SCP控制的癫痫患者比未成功的患者有更长的数字或敲击方块跨度。在训练过程中学习率更好的患者也表现出更好的言语记忆和学习能力。癫痫发作减少仅与敲击方块跨度有关。结果表明，数字跨度或敲击方块跨度所表明的注意力测量，对SCP控制的习得和治疗结果具有一定的预测价值，而视觉空间或额叶功能测量与SCP习得和癫痫发作减少无关。
