Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Are attention deficits characteristic of schoolchildren with newly diagnosed idiopathic or cryptogenic epilepsy?
Answer: Children with newly diagnosed "epilepsy only" do not have persistent attention deficits. AED treatment has no detrimental effect on attention. Prior school and behavior difficulties and a maladaptive reaction to the onset of epilepsy rather than epilepsy variables are related to decreased attentional efficiency.
Output (English): no
