Spatial Memory and Temporal Lobe Epilepsy

"The assessment of spatial memory corresponds in our study to a navigation task, i.e. learning a route through the hospital. The route encoding phase is first carried out. The participant follows the experimenter, with the instruction to pay close attention to the route in order to be able to do it again alone. For directions, it is said this way or that way and not left or right. The route includes 18 intersections.~The participant immediately does the route again alone. The number of correct answers (BR), i.e. correct directions taken at each intersection, is counted as well as the time to complete the route (TR). Direction errors are corrected. This is recall 1.~The participant is then asked to do the route a second time. The correct answers and the times to complete the route are recorded. Errors are corrected (feedback). This is recall 2.~If the participant makes a mistake on recall 1 or 2, a third attempt is made. This is recall 3.~After an interval of 1 hour, the partic"
