Abstract:
This study was conducted to compare cognitive and perceptual functions among patients with occipital lobe epilepsy, patients with migraine, and healthy individuals, in relation to the moderating roles of gender and educational level. Participants included 93 individuals from Mashhad City, Khorasan-e-Razavi province, Iran. A demographic questionnaire and Bender-Gestalt II (BGT-II; Brannigan & Decker, 2003) were used for data collection in this study. Results showed significant group differences for copy, recall, motor, and perceptual subscales of BGT-II in these samples, where patients with occipital lobe epilepsy and patients with migraine having significantly lower scores than healthy individuals. Also, patients with occipital lobe epilepsy had significantly poorer scores in all subscales of the BGT-II in comparison with the patients with migraine. There were no significant differences with regard to gender and educational level when considering dependent variables in the present study.
