BLAST paradigm: A new test to assess brief attentional fluctuations in children with epilepsy, ADHD, and normally developing children

ConclusionsThis study demonstrates that attentional stability is impaired in children with epilepsy and/or ADHD. Bron–Lyon Attention Stability Test seems to be a sensitive test to detect attentional stability deficit in children with epilepsy and with attentional complaints who did not meet all criteria of ADHD.We propose that BLAST could be a useful clinical neuropsychological tool to assess attentional disorders in children.
