![]() ![]() It is a benign epilepsy syndrome, without apparent anatomical brain lesions, and it is the most common form of focal seizures in childhood, accounting for 25% of all seizures in this period. This study aimed to investigate the working memory and phonological awareness in children between 6 and 13 years who were diagnosed with rolandic epilepsy, also known as Benign Childhood Epilepsy with centro-temporal spikes. Palabras clave: memoria de trabajo, conciencia fonológica, lenguaje, epilepsia rolándica. En general, los resultados sugieren que los compromisos en ambas funciones cognitivas pueden estar asociados a la pérdida de capacidades del lenguaje en los niños con RE, y también señalan que el desarrollo de la memoria de trabajo y la conciencia fonológica están interconectados. Además, se encontraron correlaciones positivas y altas entre la memoria de trabajo y la conciencia fonológica en el subgrupo clínico RE. Los resultados mostraron diferencias significativas en los resultados de los niños con ER y niños sanos en las pruebas que evaluaron la memoria de trabajo y la conciencia fonológica. De éstos, 21 niños fueron diagnosticados con ER y formaron el grupo experimental y 21 niños sin RE, emparejados con el grupo experimental por sexo, edad, nivel educativo y socioeconómico, que formaron el grupo de control. Se evaluaron 42 niños de 6 a 13 años de edad. Keywords: Working memory, Phonological awareness, Language, Rolandic epilepsy.Įn este estudio se investigó cómo las dificultades en el lenguaje en niños con epilepsia Rolandica (ER) podrían estar relacionadas con alteraciones en su desarrollo de la conciencia fonológica y/o memoria de trabajo. Generally, the results suggest that compromises in both cognitive functions might be associated to loss of language capabilities in children with RE, and also point that the development of working memory and phonological awareness are interconnected. Also, positive and high significant correlations were found between working memory and phonological awareness in the RE clinical subgroup. The results showed significant differences in the performances of children with RE and healthy children in the tests that evaluated working memory and phonological awareness. From these, twenty-one children were diagnosed with RE and formed the experimental group and twenty-one children without RE, paired with the experimental group by sex, age, education and socioeconomic status, formed the control group. We evaluated fourty-two children aged 6 to 13 years old. This study investigated how the difficulties in language in children with Rolandic Epilepsy (RE) could be related to alterations in their development of phonological awareness and/or working memory. ![]()
