Abstract
Sixteen children aged 7-12 yr with benign epilepsy of childhood and centrotemporal (Rolandic) EEG foci were investigated as regards intelligence, visuomotor coordination, behavior and school adjustment. They were compared with partly the same-sex class-population, partly randomly selected class controls of the same sex and age. There were no differences between the children and their class controls regarding intelligence, behavior and school adjustment. The epileptic seizures did not influence the children''s intelligence. The visuomotor coordination was impaired in most children (tested by Bender''s test), but this was not true for their verbal and nonverbal functions.Keywords
