[Disorders of speech and imagery functioning in children with epilepsy in the right or left cerebral hemisphere as primary loci of lesions].
The paper presents the relationship between the disorders of speech and a drawing. 40 epileptic 5-12 year-old children as well as 9 healthy children (a control group) were examined. There were analysed the disorders of speech, alterations of drawing in children with epilepsy, mechanisms of participation of the right or the left hemisphere in forming of speech and descriptive activity on different stages of ontogenesis and its compensation in dependence on the severity of the disease. In younger preschool age disorders of a speech and deficiency in drawing were determined by the damages of the right hemisphere, while a role of the left hemisphere in such processes increased later.
