Abbreviations: IGE = idiopathic generalized epilepsies; C-TLE = cryptogenic temporal lobe epilepsy. The percentages refer to the proportions of patients in each category. aCut-off values based on published normative studies. bAge- and schooling-adjusted scores. cThe equivalent scores correspond to five categories of performance in healthy subjects: 0 = deficit, 1 = borderline, and 2 to 4 = good to optimal performance.
