Fig. 1. Group differences in the cognitive performance between BECTS patients and control subjects. A: The control group showed a higher proportion of subjects with a VIQ>PIQ discrepancy, whereas the patient group contained a significantly higher percentage of those with a PIQ>VIQ discrepancy (p=0.002). B: The eight frequent (>1 per minute) ED presenters in the patient group exhibited a lower VCI than the infrequent ED presenters (p=0.064). BECTS: benign childhood epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes, ED: epileptiform discharge, PIQ: performance intelligence quotient, VCI: verbal comprehension index, VIQ: verbal intelligence quotient.
