Implicit Learning in Epileptic Children

Recruiting

• Conditions: Epilepsy
• Interventions: Behavioral: ASRT task

• Registration Number: NCT05285059
• Lead Sponsor: Hospices Civils de Lyon

Brief Summary

Epileptic children suffer from impairments in various learning and memory tasks. Yet, no study investigated implicit learning in epileptic children. Implicit learning is not only underlying motor skills acquisition, but also social and cognitive ones. Because acquisition of new skills is optimal during childhood, the study of implicit learning mechanism in children is of major importance. The present study will be the first to explore implicit learning mechanisms in children with epilepsy. Implicit learning mechanisms can be preserved or altered.
