Select Results of Neurocognitive Testing During Neuropsychological Assessment with Simultaneous EEG Recordings for Patient 2.

Tests Administered Test Scores EEG Status at Time of Specific Test

General IQ WAIS-IV FSIQ = 110, VCI = 114,
PRI = 105
Some subtests administered during
epileptiform discharges, and others
during afternoon when IEDs were absent

Performance Validity
Testing
Failed 1/3 effort measures from the
Word Memory Test (oral version), and
produced a genuine impairment profile
Epileptiform activity present
immediately prior to test performance
(occasional TL spikes)

Boston Naming Test Raw = 56/60, WNL This test was completed during the
afternoon after epileptiform activity had
ceased for more than 2 hours.

Complex List Learning Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test Epileptiform activity present
immediately prior to and during test
performance (theta activity)
Trial 1 = 6/15,    Z= −1.53, 6th %ile
Trial 5 = 6/15,    Z= −3.0, 1st %ile
5-Trial Total = 27/75, Z= −3.0, 1st %ile
Immediate = 0/15,   Z= −4.0, <1st %ile
Delayed = 2/15,    Z= −3.0, 1st %ile
Recognition = 3/15,    Z= −4.0, <1st %ile

WMS-IV Logical Memory This test was completed during the
afternoon after epileptiform activity had
ceased for more than 2 hours.
    Immediate Recall: Raw = 41, SS = 10, 50th %ile
    Delayed Recall: Raw = 22, SS = 9, 37th %ile
Recognition = 23/30, low average

WMS Verbal Paired
Associates
This test was completed during the
afternoon after epileptiform activity had
ceased for more than 2 hours.
    Immediate: Raw = 20; Z= −0.50; 30th %ile
    Delayed: Raw = 8; Z= 0.54; 70th %ile

WMS-III Visual This test was completed during the
morning, shortly after IEDs were
present.
Reproduction
    Immediate: Raw = 13, 95th %ile
    Delayed: Raw = 2, 1st %ile
    Recognition: Raw = 3/4, Low Average

Rey Complex Figure Test This test was completed during the
afternoon after epileptiform activity had
ceased for more than 2 hours.
    Copy Task: Raw = 36/36, Average
    Immediate Recall: Raw = 20.5, 21st %ile
    Delayed Recall: Raw = 16.5, 4th %ile

Note. IQ = intellectual quotient, WAIS-IV = Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (4th edition), FSIQ = Full Scale IQ, VCI = Verbal Comprehension Index, PRI = Perceptual Reasoning Index, IEDs = Interictal Epileptiform Discharges, WMS-IV = Wechsler Memory Scale (4th edition), WMS = Wechsler Memory Scale.
