Demographic and neuropsychological characteristics of BECTS patients and healthy controls.
| Characteristic | Patients | Controls | t/χ2 | P value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Age (years) | 9.7 ± 2.1 | 9.4 ± 2.1 | −0.723 | 0.471a |
| Sex (female/male) | 28/38 | 17/20 | 0.120 | 0.73b |
| Handedness | 60R/4L/2A | 34R/3L | — | — |
| EEG lateralization | 31R/28L/7A | — | — | — |
| FSIQ | 98.4 ± 11.1 | 100.8 ± 11.8 | 1.031 | 0.305a |
| VIQ | 102.2 ± 5.9 | 104.4 ± 8.8 | 1.475 | 0.143a |
| PIQ | 96.4 ± 13.6 | 98.9 ± 10.4 | 0.983 | 0.328a |
The intelligence quotient (IQ) scores in patients and controls were based on the results of 66 and 37 participants, respectively. R: right sided; L: left sided; A: ambidextrous; FSIQ = full scale IQ; VIQ = verbal IQ; PIQ = performance IQ; aTwo-sample t test; bχ2 test.
