Summary
This study looks at how epilepsy affects a child's ability to understand others' thoughts and feelings, known as social cognition. Researchers will compare 96 children aged 6-12 with epilepsy to healthy children of the same age. They will use tests of memory, attention, language, and social reasoning to find links between brain functions and social skills.
