Following medial temporal damage, mature humans are impaired in retaining new information over long delays but not short delays. The question of whether a similar dissociation occurs in children was addressed by testing children (ages 7-16) with unilateral temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and controls on short- and long-term memory tasks, including a spatial delayed response task (SDR). Early-onset TLE did not affect performance on short delays on SDR, but it did impair performance at the longest delay (60 s), similar to adults with unilateral medial temporal damage. In addition, early-onset TLE affected performance on pattern recall, spatial span, and verbal span with rehearsal interference. No differences were found on story recall or on a response inhibition task.
内侧颞叶受损后，成年人在长时间延迟后保留新信息时会受损，但在短时间延迟时不会。通过对患有单侧颞叶癫痫（TLE）的儿童（7至16岁）和对照组进行短期和长期记忆任务测试，包括空间延迟反应任务（SDR），来探讨儿童是否会出现类似的分离现象。早发性TLE并不影响SDR短延迟时的表现，但确实会损害最长延迟（60秒）时的表现，这与患有单侧内侧颞叶损伤的成年人相似。此外，早发性TLE会影响有复述干扰时的图案回忆、空间广度和言语广度任务的表现。在故事回忆或反应抑制任务上未发现差异。
