Neurocognitive deficits in cognitive flexibility and visual-motor search among children with different epilepsy subtypes

The findings indicate hierarchical CF and VMS impairments in pediatric epilepsy, likely linked to frontal-parietal and hippocampal-temporal dysfunction. This suggests a need for tailored interventions, such as metacognitive training for FLE and contextual cueing for TLE. Future research should use neuroimaging and more diverse populations.
