title: Cognitive progression in epilepsy.
abstract: The issue of cognitive progression in people with epilepsy is of considerable interest and has important clinical and theoretical implications. In this paper, we review recent studies in both the adult and childhood epilepsy literature which have included a longitudinal test-retest design to examine this question. Several important methodological issues of this literature are highlighted and areas which require more investigation are identified.
