Event-related potential and intelligence test performance of 50 patients with epilepsy.
The findings of P300 and Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale in 50 epileptic patients were assessed and compared with those of 38 healthy adult volunteers. The relationships between the course of epilepsy and the WAIS or peak P300 latencies were analyzed. Results showed that the prolonged latencies of P300 were positively correlated with course of epilepsy but not with full scale IQ. P300 peak latency and Arithmetic, Digit Symbol and Picture Arrangement were closely related.
