Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Is cognitive impairment equal in patients with epileptic and psychogenic nonepileptic seizures?
Answer: Many patients with PNES do not put forth maximal effort during neuropsychological assessment. When patients with PNES put forth valid effort, they demonstrate less objective evidence of neuropathologic injury or disease than do patients with ES. The cognitive impairment reported by this group appears to be more a function of motivational (although not necessarily intentional) factors than of verifiable neuropathology.
Output (English): no
