Can kids with epilepsy learn without knowing it? new study investigates
NCT ID NCT05285059
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how children with epilepsy learn things without trying, like picking up new skills or habits automatically. Researchers will compare 40 children—some with epilepsy and some without—using a simple computer task. The goal is to see if this type of hidden learning is affected by epilepsy, which could help design better support for these children.
