| Popis: | The psychosocial well-being of children and adolescents with epilepsy is affected by comorbid language deficits. Little is known about the focus of current research in language and epilepsy. A systematic review of research was conducted to identify gaps in knowledge regarding language and epilepsy. In total, 83 published articles were eligible for inclusion. More studies included samples presenting with focal seizures (k = 39) compared to generalized seizures (k = 10), few included measures of morphology (k = 4). Most studies (k = 66) included samples of participants across a wide age range. Our review indicated t-hat future research should include a greater focus on participants with more diversity in epilepsy etiology (e.g., symptomatic epilepsy), and seizure type (e.g., generalized seizures), assessment of additional areas of language (e.g., morphology), increased focus on early childhood, focused examination of specific developmental stages, and greater use of comparison groups with an alternate epilepsy diagnosis. |
