Abstract:
Objective To investigate the theory of mind ( TOM) and eye basic emotion recognition in benign epilepsy children with centrotemporal spikes( BECT) . Methods Totally 51 BECT patients( BECT group) and 51 healthy controls( control group) were studied by Yoni task and Eye Basic Emotion Discrimi-nation Task (EBEDT). Results ①Compared with healthy controls,BECT got significantly lower score ((54. 02±6. 03) vs (58. 04±5. 41),F(1,100)=10. 34,P<0. 05))in Yoni task,especially in affective(hot) TOM .②There was no significant difference between the BECT group(M(P25,P75):103(96,108)) and the control group(M(P25,P75):105(96,110))in the total score of Eye Basic Emotion Discrimination Task(Z=-1. 37,P>0. 05),but got significantly lower score in recognizing sadness(M(P25,P75):16(14,17) vs 18 (15,19),Z=-3. 05,P<0. 05)and fear(M(P25,P75):15(14,17) vs 16(16,18),Z=-2. 21,P<0. 05).③Pearson or Spearman correlation analysis showed that there was no significant correlation between the total score of TOM and the age,age of onset, education,seizure total number,MMSE,the Digital Span test, the verbal fluency test and eye basic emotion recognition ( r=-0. 257-0. 908,all P>0. 05) . Conclusion BECT children have impairments in sadness and fear emotion recognition and TOM aspects.
