Delayed episodic memory recall after one week is associated with executive functions and divided attention in pediatric epilepsy patients

We assume that executive functions play a crucial role in deep memory encoding, facilitating stronger and more enduring memory traces. Given that approximately 20% of epilepsy patients – compared to a healthy reference sample – had a significantly reduced delayed recall and due to the clinical relevance of long-term memory, age-appropriate standard norms for free memory recall after 1-week are desirable.
