Abstract:
The study was carried out for determination of the profile and for the analysis of disturbances in the development of perceptive functions in children with epilepsy. The psychological-statistical analysis was carried out in 80 children aged 7-14 years. Disturbances of general intellectual development were found in 31 cases (38.75%). Normal intelligence level was demonstrated in 43 children (53.75%), while in 6 cases (7.5%) the intelligence quotient was above normal. Disturbances in the development of visual perception and visuomotor coordination were discovered in 46 children (57.5%). Weakening was observed also of the memory function, mainly recent auditory memory (8.75%) and other partial deficits in the development of higher nervous system functions.
