Abstract
SUMMARY: A survey of the literature, primarily over the past 10 years, was reported for studies of lateral dysfunction related to deficits from various cognitive tests in neurological populations. Studies of temporal lobe seizure patients were also reviewed, along with previous results classifying individual patients on the basis of psychological test results.A recent study by the author was reported making use of the Wechsler scales in a broad out‐patient sample of patients with psychomotor seizures. Verbal‐nonverbal relationships to lateral dysfunction were found, similar to that previously demonstrated in other populations. It was also demonstrated that these patients could be identified with considerable accuracy by the use of regression‐weighted Wechsler scoresRÉSUMÉ: Revue de la littérature, principalement des dix dernières années, concernant les études des dysfonctions latérales liées à des déficits dans divers tests cognitifs chez des malades neurologiques. L'auteur passe aussi en revue les études de malades ayant des crises du lobe temporal avec des résultats antérieurs classant les patients d'après les tests psychologiques.L'auteur expose une récente étude personnelle utilisant l'échelle de Wechsler dans un large échantillonage de malades ambulatoires avec crises psychomotrices. On trouve des relations entre verbal et non verbal liées à la dysfonction latérale, semblables à celles démontrées antérieurement dans d'autres populations. II démontre également que ces malades peuvent être identifiés avec une précision considérable en utilisant les notes du Wechsler pondérées par la méthode de régression.Keywords
